The inaugural International Women’s Golf Day (WGD) held June 7, 2016, has exceeded its lofty goal with more than 400 golf facilities in more than 23 countries participating in this first-of-its-kind growth of the game initiative. WGD’s mission is to Engage, Empower and Support women

WGD was celebrated between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., when women and girls were introduced to the game in an inviting and fun environment. The event also encourages existing and former golf enthusiasts to attend with an opportunity to tee it up for nine holes.

“Women play a critical role in the success of the golf industry,” says Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation. “Nearly 23 percent of all golfers in the U.S. are female and the creation of Women’s Golf Day is an opportunity to increase awareness, participation, and showcase golf as a fun activity for people of all ages.”
