Recognizing Barrett Carter

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 recognize my middle son, Barrett Carter, a proud southeast Georgia native and accomplished PGA head golf professional.

Barrett graduated from the University of Georgia before settling in

the New Orleans area in 2009 where he has built an impressive career as a PGA class A professional. He has served at some of the region's premier facilities, including TPC Louisiana and Metairie Country Club, head golf professional at Oak Knoll Country Club in Hammond, and recently he was appointed as head golf professional at Bayou Oaks at City Parks in New Orleans.

Most notably, Barrett is passionate about growing the game through

instruction and creating welcoming programs for golfers of all ages and abilities.

Barrett and his wife, Halley, live in Metairie with three precious

daughters, Bennett, Catherine, and Clara. They are proud to call south Louisiana home.

Although Barrett has made Louisiana his home, the First Congressional

• District of Georgia is proud to claim him as one of our own.

Congratulations, Son. Your mother and I are very proud of you and love you very much.
