            HONORING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF TROPHY CLUB, TX

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 16, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the town of Trophy 
Club, TX, as they celebrate 20 years as a municipality. Trophy Club, a 
town of roughly 7,600 residents, was built on a foundation of 
individuals who sought to create a unique town with less population 
density.
  It is the passion of those like Jim Carter, Trophy Club's first 
Mayor, Town Manager Donna Welsh and numerous other individuals who 
dedicated their support, sweat and money to the incorporation of this 
small town which has allowed it to be so successful.
  Trophy Club became the first master planned community in Texas and 
that foresight has allowed citizens to take hold of their community and 
develop the amenities and enterprises, which are wanted by their peers.
  Originally designed to be a housing development circling a golf 
course designed by Ben Hogan, Trophy Club has come a long way from that 
vision, but relishes that it is the only town home to a golf course 
designed by that golfing legend.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I stand here today to 
commemorate the twentieth anniversary of a city founded on such sound 
principles of representation and democracy.
