Willis Named 2015 Parrott Award Winner

 
Nick Willis of Spartanburg, SC has been named the recipient of the David Parrott Award for 2015 by the Carolinas Golf Association.  Willis, the 2015 SC Junior Match Play Champion, was selected from the eight members that represented the Carolinas Golf Association in the Carolinas-Virginias Junior Team Matches at Boonsboro CC in Lynchburg, VA this past August.
 
Willis, a high school senior at Spartanburg Christian Academy, carries a GPA of 4.354 and is ranked 11th in his class at Spartanburg Christian.  “Nick is an outstanding young man. He has proven to be a model young man in the time he spends at the club,” stated Country Club of Spartanburg head golf professional Tom McAllister.  “I wish we had more like him,” added McAllister.
 
The David Parrott award is given annually to the Carolinas Team player who displays excellence in sportsmanship, ability, and academic excellence. The award is presented by Dr. Larry and Joy Parrott of Camden, SC in honor of their son David. David Parrot was diagnosed with leukemia in the spring of 1982 and during his brief illness, he participated in the golf camp at Duke University and competed in the SCGA South Carolina Junior Championship, finishing third in his flight. He was given the Derek Davis sportsmanship award at the championship for his effort, determination and inspiration he gave to all who knew him. David died July 29, 1982, at the age of 16.
 
Willis joins a prestigious of past Parrott award winners that include Tee Burton, Jonathan Byrd, Dustin Bray, Austin Reeves, Ben Kohles, Andy Knox and 2014 recipient Henry Shimp.  Willis will be presented the Parrott Award on Friday, February 19th at Country Club of Charleston during the Carolinas Golf Association’s Golf Night and Annual Meeting.
