| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Dennis Walters for the extraordinary impact he has had | ||
| on others through golf; and | ||
| WHEREAS, As a young man, Dennis Walters dreamed of becoming | ||
| a member of the Professional Golfers Association Tour; a 1974 | ||
| accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down ended that | ||
| dream but did not alter his determination to use the sport to | ||
| inspire others; and | ||
| WHEREAS, He was able to return to playing golf by utilizing | ||
| a swiveling seat attached to a golf cart; he has expanded his | ||
| repertoire of shots from those typically seen on the golf course | ||
| to include a wide variety of trick shots using an array of custom | ||
| golf clubs, including a three-headed club and clubs made from | ||
| such materials as a fishing rod, a radiator hose, a crutch, and a | ||
| cell phone; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the years, he has made more than 3,000 | ||
| appearances across the country, entertaining countless people | ||
| while imparting his inspirational message of hope, hard work, and | ||
| perseverance; as the host of the Dennis Walters Golf Show, he | ||
| presents an hourlong combination of golf lessons and life | ||
| lessons, with enthusiastic audience participation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dennis Walters has transformed what many might | ||
| characterize as a handicap into a means to motivate and encourage | ||
| people to follow their dreams, and he is truly deserving of | ||
| recognition for his courage and determination; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Dennis Walters | ||
| for the hope and inspiration he has provided to others through | ||
| the Dennis Walters Golf Show and extend to him best wishes for | ||
| continued success in all his endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
