National Golf Day
Annually, National Golf Day unites the golf and club industry on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Advocates convene to educate members of Congress and their staff members about the industry and the impact of notable legislative and regulatory issues. The event is organized by the American Golf Industry Coalition, of which CMAA is a proud founding member.
To encourage and enable more diverse member participation, CMAA, with funding from The Club Foundation, has created a travel stipend to help defray the cost of attendance. CMAA members can apply for a National Golf Day travel stipend applicable to cover the cost of travel and accommodations (up to $1,500).
The 18th annual National Golf Day will be held in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, May 6. Events will begin on May 5 at 12:00 noon.
Join professionals from across the industry, including the 2026 CMAA Advocacy Committee, in this important opportunity to make your voice heard on issues impacting our industry.
Deadline: Apply for consideration by January 30. Selections and notifications will be made no later than March 1.
