A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE MARK HARMON UPON HIS HOLE-IN-ONE AT THE EIGHTH HOLE OF THE SECESSION GOLF CLUB.

Whereas, Mr. Harmon is a native of Gaffney, South Carolina; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Ceramic and Materials Engineering from Clemson University; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon served as the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus Research Director from 2005 to 2011 and now serves as Caucus Executive Director; and

Whereas, the Secession Golf Club opened for play on Gibbes Island in Beaufort County, South Carolina in 1992; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon and his party played the course on the morning of April 16, 2012, from the "Lee" tees; and

Whereas, the Eighth Hole was marked at 195 yards but played at 205 to 210 yards into the wind; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon coolly took his four iron and smoothly launched the golf ball to the green; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon's golf ball took one bounce forward and continued to roll to the hole; and

Whereas, the elevation of the tee and the position of the sun made it impossible to see the final disposition of the golf ball; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon casually walked to the green while betraying no visible emotion; and

Whereas, the caddies for the group walked past the hole and called for Mr. Harmon to get out his wedge; and

Whereas, Mr. Harmon then discovered that his ball indeed rested at the bottom of the cup. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, honor Mr. Mark Harmon for his most rare of accomplishments and wish him continued success upon the links.
