Happy National Golf Day 2015.

| Lining up a putt from the very edge of the green at Stockwood Park in Luton - I'm not the best at pitching, but I'm a decent enough putter |
My fellow minigolf enthusiast (and Putt Putt pro)
Matt Bellner alerted me to the fact that today is
National Golf Day!
The tweet Mattie 5 sent me shows
Jon Guhl, CEO of the Middle Atlantic Section of the PGA of America hitting the ceremonial putt to tee-off the Congressional Putting Challenge. Proof that 'regular' BIG golf is all about the Putting. I look forward to seeing the Putting Challenge results.
National Golf Day is organised by
WE ARE GOLF - a coalition of leading organisations in Golf including the Club Managers Association of America, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, National Golf Course Owners Association, PGA TOUR, The PGA of America, the U.S Golf Manufacturers Council and the World Golf Foundation.
The 2015 event is the eighth annual edition. For more information about National Golf Day check out the
WE ARE GOLF website.
In the minigolf world there are three
'Mini Golf Days' taking place around the world this year (and every year) -
National Miniature Golf Day on Saturday 9 May 2015,
Miniature Golf Day on Monday 21 September, and
Minigolf Tag in Austria (date TBC for 2015).
