MEMORIAL BENCHES.
The Club wants to purchase more memorial benches to be placed around the course. Single-pedestal benches with only one support (such as the one pictured, next to the 11th tee box) are less likely to be swept away in floods than benches that have two supports. We’re having trouble finding where to buy them. If anyone can help, please send us an email.
