What is National Golf Month
Every August, National Golf Month rolls around to encourage more people to get out and enjoy the game. Started by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) it was created to grow the sport and inspire more people to hit the course, and it’s working. In 2024, the NGF reported 28.1 million on-course golfers in the U.S., the highest it’s ever been, and the seventh year in a row the number has gone up. Safe to say golf has been on the come-up. So whether you’re in it for the competition or just the good company, this is the perfect month to get involved.
