History and Origin of National Golf Day
The Professional Golfer’s Association (PGA) created and sponsors National Golf Day which has been held every year since its inception in 1952. Did you know the first event was held at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club, in Lemont, Il? This first event raised $80,000 for charities.
At the very first National Golf Day event, celebrities Bob Hope, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis were in attendance. I don’t know about you but I would have liked to be there.

National Frappe Day is always observed on October 4th
National Frappe Day is today. It’s time to make, or buy, and drink your favorite Frappe. One might consider Frappes to have an identity crisis. Frappe is made of many different things. The dictionary definition of Frappes is that it is an Ice Cream beverage drink. What’s with all of the confusion? First of all, some definitions and recipes, are the same as the ingredients for a Milkshake. Many Frappe recipes do not call for Ice Cream at all. Some Frappes use Whipped Cream. Other recipes use Yogurt in place of Ice Cream. Other recipes still include Alcohol. If you’re confused, you’re in good company.
Do you care what the official definition of Frappes is? Of course not. You just care that Frappe tastes so good, that you hunger for more. Thanks to Frappe popularity, there are recipes galore. Perhaps the most popular today, are Coffee and Mocha Frappes, served by Coffee Shops or Cafes.
There’s a reason why National Frappe Day occurs in October which is people can enjoy Pumpkin Frappe.

Yom Kippur – begins at sunset, the date varies
Date varies: Starts at sunset on October 4, 2022; September 24, 2023; October 11, 2024; October 1, 2025; September 20, 2026; October 15, 2027; October 19, 2028
Many Jewish holidays begin at Sunset. Some internet websites record this holiday on the first full day, while others sites state the date when “yom Kipper” begins at Sunset.
“Yom Kippur” means “Day of Atonement”. Appropriately, people set aside this day to atone for Sins they have committed. “Yom Kippur” is a day of Prayer, fasting, and a time to attend the Synagogue. Jewish people will also not work on this holiday, one of the most important days in the Jewish calendar. During Yom Kippur, people seek forgiveness from God, and seek to give and receive forgiveness and reconciliation with others.
Yom Kippur always occurs ten days after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are the only Jewish holidays that do not have roots in a historical religious event.
