                  REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF JACK LUMPKIN

  (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 remember the life 
of Georgia golfing legend, Jack Lumpkin.
  Jack was a master at the game of golf and a pillar of what Sea Island 
and Glynn County is today. When it came to the game, Jack was 
unparalleled in his understanding and knowledge. He spent his life 
coaching others and was recognized for his teaching ability numerous 
times.
  In 1995, Jack was named PGA National Teacher of the Year, and he was 
named a Top 50 Golf Teacher in America every year since 2000.
  I will always remember Jack teaching students at the first tee box at 
the Golf Performance Center, which is now known as Lumpkin's Tee. Jack 
would take his students to where the Golf Performance Center now stands 
because the area naturally blocked out the north wind coming from the 
ocean.
  It was Jack's ideas, passion, and prowess that made this center 
possible.
  My prayers are with his family, friends, and the staff of Sea Island, 
as well as those that he mentored.
