Starting in Australia and finishing in French Polynesia, events are taking place across the globe today in celebration of women and girl’s golf
Who/What:
Women’s Golf Day, the global movement that engages, empowers, and supports females through golf, is an annual one-day sporting and community celebration taking place tomorrow – Tuesday June 7th!
WGD was founded by Elisa Gaudet in 2016. Now in its 7th year, WGD unites people across the globe through golf. Starting in Australia and ending in French Polynesia, events will take place for 24 hours straight. There are events in every continent, apart from Antarctica.
The Events
The events allow a simple and accessible platform to build a golf foundation and skills that will last a lifetime. It creates a network to support the continuation of golf no matter what skill level or interest, while engaging women in an empowering initiative with global impact from a local level. The event transcends race, gender, religion, language, geography or economic status.
Each location can personalize its WGD experience in regard to activities, refreshments, giveaways, and more. The cost for people to participate varies by location.
On the day, participants are encouraged to wear red and white, and share photos and posts from WGD events on social media tagging @womensgolfday and using the hashtags #womensgolfday and #WGDunites.
