Women’s Golf Day, the global celebration of women and girls in golf, is returning for 2018, with all golfers and golf clubs being asking to do something to mark the occasion on Monday, June 5.
The one-day event, which was first launched in 2016, aims to engage more women and girls in the game than ever before. Last year saw over 700 Women’s Golf Day events take place in 46 countries, with WGD’s primary hashtag, #WomensGolfDay, receiving more than 15 million global impressions to nearly 10 million users across Twitter and Instagram.
“Women love to share their interests with their friends and family, which is why we are encouraging existing golfers to encourage their clubs to get involved,” said WGD founder Elisa Gaudet. “The feedback we receive from participating facilities is really positive, because Women’s Golf Day gives them the tools to reach potential new female golfers in a really effective way.”
Golf courses and facilities signing up for the 2018 event before March 31 will be entitled to an early bird offer of $79. All participating venues will have a dedicated event webpage on the WGD website. where they can manage and promote their event. In addition. they will have access to specially designed marketing material, banners and posters to help promote the event.
“In my 37 years in the golf industry, I have seen very few initiatives so effectively generate interest and enthusiasm among women and girls as Women’s Golf Day has these past two years,” says Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation. “It has rapidly become a global movement, where women are coming together, not only to take up our sport, but to network and enjoy the social benefits associated with our game.”
