On April 16th, Golf Day at the Capitol, spearheaded by the Colorado Golf Coalition and Coalition lobbyist Jennifer Cassell of Bowditch & Cassell Public Affairs, was a resounding success. This annual event, hosted at the Colorado State Capitol, fosters engagement with legislators before their session and acknowledges their support for the state’s golf industry. After a hearty breakfast, the Colorado Golf Coalition received commendation during the Senate session for the industry’s invaluable contributions.
The Colorado Golf Coalition comprises key organizations including the Colorado Golf Association, Colorado Section of the PGA, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America – Rocky Mountain Chapter, and Club Management Association of America – Mile High Chapter. During their engagement with legislators, the coalition presented a report detailing the economic and environmental significance of golf within Colorado.
The Colorado Golf Association (CGA) staff received special recognition in the Senate Chamber, where representatives adorned with CGA hats passionately spoke about Golf Day at the Capitol.
