Did You Know There is a Special Day for Golf Lovers?
Time to celebrate.
Every year on October 4th National Golf Lovers Day is celebrated, a day where enthusiasts can get organized enjoy the company of other people who are also passionate about this sport.
It is a celebration promoted by the Professional Golfers Association, a group that was founded in 1929 and famously holds professional golf tournaments in the United States. Since 1952, this organization has been engaged in holding charity events every year on this day.
The history and context for which this celebration began to be considered is fundamentally unknown, however, it might have something in relation with the fact that the first Men’s Open Golf Championship in the United States was established on this same date in 1895.
Some of the activities that can be enjoyed in this festivity are the experience of a new golf course, taking a golf lesson or you can even plan a trip to an important tournament.
Players can improve their game through courses given by a professional coach, who can inform them about better ways to perform a swing and have much better control.
