A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR WALTER TODD FOR AN IMPRESSIVE ROOKIE YEAR IN SENIOR GOLF COMPETITION AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM FOR WINNING THE JONES CUP SENIOR INVITATIONAL AND BEING NAMED THE SENIOR PLAYER OF THE YEAR BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOLF ASSOCIATION.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Walter Todd has been honored as the South Carolina Golf Association's Senior Player of the Year for 2016; and

Whereas, Mr. Todd played golf as a young person as well as football and basketball, but golf became his game; and

Whereas, before advancing to the senior ranks, he won multiple four-ball championships with his brother, and he has played in three U.S. Mid-Amateurs; and

Whereas, in his first full season as a senior player fifty-five and older, Mr. Todd served as the 2011-2012 president of the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) and eighteen years on its board of directors; and

Whereas, as a rookie, he partnered with Eddie Hargett to take the South Carolina Golf Association's (SCGA) Senior Four-Ball championship, the SCGA Father-Son with his son Walt, and the SCGA Better-Ball with Mr. Hargett again, and he took a title in the Senior Festival of Flowers; and

Whereas, Mr. Todd added top-three finishes in the SCGA Trescott Team Championship, the SCGA Senior Championship in second place, the National Senior Hall of Fame Championship in third place, and Carolinas Father-Son with his son Neal; and

Whereas, on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, Mr. Todd rallied from two strokes down with two holes left to play and forced three additional holes to capture the Jones Cup Senior Invitational at the Sea Island Golf Club on St. Simons Island, Georgia, the biggest individual win of his career; and

Whereas, now at age fifty-six, he has retired from the family business and represents several golf-related companies in sales, which allows him to set his own schedule and, to his delight, gives him opportunities to call on golf courses; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representative commends Walter Todd for his outstanding success as a rookie in senior golf competition, and the members look to hear of his continued achievements in the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Walter Todd for an impressive rookie year in senior golf competition and congratulate him for winning the Jones Cup Senior Invitational and being named the Senior Player of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Association.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Walter Todd.
