Overview

It functions as a ceremonial, non-binding expression of the Legislature’s support for recognizing golf as a state interest.

Purpose and Intent

  • To urge Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 10, 2025, as Golf Day in New York.
  • To align New York with National Golf Day, highlighting golf’s recreational, economic, and social value within the state.

Key Provisions

  • The resolution explicitly requests (memorializes the Governor) that May 10, 2025 be proclaimed as Golf Day in New York.
  • Intended to accompany and formalize recognition alongside National Golf Day.
  • As a memorial resolution, it does not create new laws, authorize spending, or impose regulatory requirements; it is a symbolic endorsement and call to action for the Governor.

Procedural History

  • Introduced: June 11, 2025.
  • Legislative actions show referral to calendar on June 11, 2025, followed by adoption on June 12, 2025 (the record shows two entries for each action, likely reflecting parallel legislative procedures or version recordings).

Sponsors

Potential Impact

  • Symbolic acknowledgment of golf as a contributor to health, recreation, tourism, and local economies.
  • Could raise public awareness about golf-related events, courses, and related industries within New York.
  • No direct fiscal impact or regulatory changes are implied; the action is ceremonial and aspirational, contingent on the Governor’s proclamation.
  • If proclaimed, Golf Day would provide a formal annual or one-time observance within New York, potentially fostering broader community engagement and tourism promotion tied to golf.

Summary
