Memorial bench

[Tab373]

Play yesterday and was sitting on the 18th bench waiting to tee off when I saw a plaque on bench saying in memory of *********. Now this got me thinking that when I die would I want a big fat sweaty man or women sitting on a bench with my name on it. I mentioned this to my playing partners and we had a laugh about it when someone said. He would not mind that fit 19 year old sitting on him. Now how would you like to be rememberd at your course. Mayb a plaque next to the tee on the 2nd for me as this is the hole I tend to shank it on. In memory of Wayne a serial shanker.Views plz

I'd like a bunker named after me. Especially the greenside one on the 4th as I'm always bloody in it!!!!

benches are probably the norm at most clubs, i would probably have a bench in the righthand rough

honour's boards and maybe a big cup!

but probably end up with a plate on the ball cleaner..........

I am not keen on benches. Eventually there will so many there is not enough room left for playing golf.

Why are memorial benches three seaters, when we play in fours?

because the cost for a 4 seater rises disproportionality due to the material scale increase required - ie people take one look at the costs and get a three!

I'd probably want a bench at our 12th with enough room for one buttock cheek.Cause I always make a right arse of it!

3 people sit down and watch Homer going through his pre-shot routine.....

I'd like to think I've lived my life fairly prejudice free... So in the unlikely event of someone bothering to organise a memorial bench in my name I'd like to think all would be welcome to use it...

One of our members had a fountain named after him. It says 'have a drink on me', but unfortunately it is only water.

A guy had a tree planted outside the 19th next to the pond. Doesn't form part of any hole but will add some character to that piece of land over time.

There is a tree planted by our 10th tee with a plaque in memory of a former ladies captain. I thought that was quite nice.

A Tree sounds a better memorable than a bench, also it adds to the course. Consider in 50 or 80 years time Mother nature being kind, will last a lot longer.

We have quite a few memorial benches and trees at our place. I think they are a nice touch. Adding a bit of personality to the course and bringing back memories if you knew the person in question.
