                       RECOGNIZING DAVIS LOVE III

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Davis 
Love III for his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Love's impressive golf career spans over four different decades. 
He has won 21 times on the PGA Tour, including one major championship 
at the PGA Championship in 1997, two victories at the Players 
Championship in 1992 and 2003, and five victories at the Heritage in 
Hilton Head, South Carolina. Further, his outstanding performances 
gained him a selection to six U.S. Ryder Cup teams--twice as captain.
  Although Mr. Love is known nationally for his professional wins, he 
is also known in the First Congressional District of Georgia for his 
strong sense of community. Referred to as ``Uncle Davis'' by locals, 
Mr. Love stays active in the St. Simons community. When Hurricane 
Matthew hit, he spent time clearing away tree limbs and providing food 
to emergency workers.
  Certainly, he is respected both nationally and locally. I am proud to 
rise today to recognize his great achievements and Mr. Love's induction 
into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
