“I want to thank everyone who has supported and participated in the tenth Women’s Golf Day,” commented Elisa Gaudet Founder of WGD. “The golf facilities, organizers, sponsors, partners and golf industry professionals who help create this incredible community are investing in their future and taking action to support more women and girls getting into golf. Most importantly, we can see from the photos around the world just how much the women who participate in WGD events value them, look forward to them and the community which they are a part of.
It is hard to believe we just completed 10 years of events. We started out wanting to create events geared to what women want and offering access to more facilities and now WGD has become a global movement. This is the result of hard work - all year long - by a dedicated team and collaboration from organizations that see the importance of investing in women and Women’s Golf Day. We especially want to thank the USGA, PGA of America and the R&A who continue to support WGD and our shared mission.”
