The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes May 6, 2026, as Vermont Golf Day, highlighting the state's rich history and contributions to the sport of golf. The resolution notes that golf has roots tracing back to ancient Rome and was formalized in 15th-century Scotland, with Vermont being home to the Dorset Field Club, the oldest continuously operating golf course in the U.S. Golf is acknowledged for its health benefits, economic impact, and role in tourism, with Vermont generating significant financial output from golfing activities, including $671.4 million in 2026 and 1.1 million rounds played in 2024.

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the environmental benefits of golf courses, which provide green space and support water quality, as well as their contribution to the local economy through job creation and charitable events. In 2024, Vermont's golf facilities hosted over 700 charitable events, raising approximately $12.4 million for nonprofits. The resolution calls for the Secretary of State to send copies to various golf organizations, reinforcing the importance of golf in Vermont's culture and economy.
