H. 3221 -- Rep. D. Smith: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO PROCLAIM SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1995, THROUGH SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1995, AS GOLF WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHICH WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE STATE WITH APPROPRIATE CEREMONIES AND EVENTS TO RECOGNIZE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE GOLF INDUSTRY IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STATE'S JUNIOR GOLFERS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TURFGRASS RESEARCH.

H. 3221--ADOPTED AND SENT TO THE SENATE

On motion of Rep. D. SMITH, with unanimous consent, the following Concurrent Resolution was taken up for immediate consideration.

H. 3221 -- Rep. D. Smith: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO PROCLAIM SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1995, THROUGH SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1995, AS GOLF WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHICH WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE STATE WITH APPROPRIATE CEREMONIES AND EVENTS TO RECOGNIZE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE GOLF INDUSTRY IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STATE'S JUNIOR GOLFERS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TURFGRASS RESEARCH.

Whereas, a University of South Carolina and South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism study shows golf generating more than six hundred forty-four million dollars annually for the state's economy, putting it on a par with the state's larger industries; and

Whereas, given that the National Golf Foundation ranks South Carolina just behind Florida as the nation's most popular golfing sport for tourists, this staggering amount of revenue isn't surprising; and

Whereas, the study, which is the state's first economic impact study of South Carolina's golf industry, finds that the golf course operations generate employment for more than fourteen thousand full-time workers; and

Whereas, the study showed:

(1)     Out-of-state and international tourists, mostly from Canada and Germany, account for thirty-eight percent of South Carolina golfers.

(2)     Sixty-three cents of every dollar spent by South Carolina's golf industry is respent in the state's economy.

(3)     More than four hundred sixteen industries, including golf courses, utility companies, liability insurance companies, chemical/fertilizer manufacturers, and golf vehicle dealers, benefit directly from the state's golf industry.

(4)     More than sixteen million, seven hundred thousand dollars in sales, excise, and admission taxes are generated annually by golf-related industries. Additional benefits include the creation of jobs and property tax revenue; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly recognize the importance of raising funds for research to promote environmentally sound turfgrass management. The continued success of the golf industry is dependent on research-based answers to the environmental concerns of the public; and

Whereas, Golf Week in South Carolina will allow the South Carolina Junior Golf Association and the South Carolina Chapter of the Professional Golfers of America to seek support to increase the education and advancement of junior golf throughout the State and will allow the South Carolina Turfgrass Foundation to pursue research and education relating to environmentally sensitive turfgrass management. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly proclaim Sunday, April 23, 1995, through Saturday, April 29, 1995, as Golf Week in South Carolina which will be observed throughout the State with appropriate ceremonies and events to recognize the economic impact of the golf industry in South Carolina, the importance of the state's junior golfers, and the importance of turfgrass research.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Happ Lathrop, Executive Director of the South Carolina Golf Association.

The Concurrent Resolution was adopted and ordered sent to the Senate.
