Impact

The resolution serves to honor and promote the PAGA's contributions to the sport of golf and the camaraderie among its members. It acknowledges the event's role in celebrating both the golfers and the local chapter's history, as well as the broader community involvement associated with such tournaments. This gesture not only boosts local pride but also aligns with state efforts to promote sports and tourism in Texas.

Summary

House Resolution 1106 commemorates the 2009 Pan American Golf Association (PAGA) National Tournament and Convention, which took place in Corpus Christi from July 27 through 31, 2009. This resolution recognizes the importance of the event not only to the local community but also to the PAGA, highlighting that this is the first time the tournament returns to Corpus Christi in over a decade. The significance of the PAGA chapter in Corpus Christi is underscored by its establishment in 1951, making it the second oldest chapter in the association.

Contention

While the bill is largely celebratory in nature, its passage and enactment might serve as a platform for discussing the value of local sporting events in fostering community spirit and tourism. However, no significant points of contention are noted within the discussions around the bill, as it primarily focuses on recognition rather than legislation that might stir debate.
