USGA expanding its drive to get more to

 play  nine-hole rounds

USGA NEWS RELEASE

FAR HILLS, New Jersey – Spurred by the success of its first two years, the United States Golf Association is expanding the PLAY9 program this year, encouraging more golfers to play nine-hole rounds during six scheduled “PLAY9 Days” throughout the golf season, beginning on May 9 and occurring on the ninth day of each month through October.

Since 2014, the USGA’s PLAY9 program has been actively educating and rallying golfers around the concept of the nine-hole round as a simple, yet effective solution to address the challenge of fitting golf into busy days. 

“What we love about PLAY9 is the opportunity to welcome more people – both recreational golfers and non-golfers alike – to enjoy the great game of golf,” said Mike Davis, USGA executive director/CEO. 

“We’re clearly excited about the results we’ve seen, committed to expanding the program and optimistic about its long-term potential to grow globally.”
