Political Quotes

“I have the privilege to represent Augusta, in the 12th District of Georgia, which is home to the Masters Golf Tournament. The Georgia Golf Hall of Fame was founded in Augusta, and among the very first inductees were Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, founders of the Masters. I rise today to congratulate the newest inductee into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, PGA Master Professional Tommy Brannen. Tommy has served as our head pro at Augusta Country Club for the past 22 years. In that time, I have come to know Tommy and his family well, not only through golf, but through our church, club, and community projects. There is a quote which Tommy lives by: Whatever you are, be a good one. Among his many accomplishments, Tommy has won the State title at Marietta High School. He was an All-American at Columbus State University, and in the decades since, he has qualified and played in multiple PGA professional competitions. Tommy has already raised nearly $100,000 through an annual golf tournament benefiting area veterans. Over the years, Tommy has been many things: A husband, father, friend, and mentor. In all these things, he has endeavored always to be a good one. Congratulations, Tommy, on this momentous and well-deserved achievement. Well done, my friend. ____________________”
