Hello Everyone,
The golf industry's 4th Annual National Golf Day is less than a week away. As many of you know, this is the day when industry leaders march onto Capital Hill in Washington, D.C., to speak to lawmakers from across the country about the benefits of golf. Our message ... because of the economical, social, environmental, health and wellness, and charitable benefits to society, golf is more than a game.
We want to send this message loud and clear. So, in addition to this hands on approach, we are asking for each of you to help spread the word about the positive benefits of golf. And, we want to take advantage of this special day. So, if you have a Facebook page, a twitter account, a blog or anything like that, we are asking you to post something about National Golf Day on Wednesday April 13. We have some great examples listed below. Additionally, we have a terrific video clip from 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III, in which he is talks about what golf has meant to his family. It would be great to post that on your website.
Please see the examples below and call with any questions.
Tweet whatever your organization’s feelings are about National Golf Day or choose a version of something listed below. After you tweet we would like for you to put “#golfday” hash sign line at the end of your tweets so that we can search it, and it serves as an indicator to people that this is associated with the event. So, you’re essentially labeling the tweet as a golf day tweet.
Here’s an example of possible Tweets for various members, that use the golf day hash sign marker:
“Celebrate Natl Golf Day in the Rayburn Foyer. See how golf helps our economy, environment and well-being. #golfday” or for a golf course owner, maybe,
“
Here is the Davis Love III message that everyone can use next week.
