Unusual Facts About Tournaments and Courses

William Garner was a golf fanatic who lived to play the game. He always said that when he died he wanted to spend eternity on the links. He passed away in 1967 at age 75. So, according to his wishes, his friends took his ashes to the Croham Hurst Golf Club. There, his fellow club members granted his wish, but with one little prank of their own. They scattered his ashes over an area of the 17th hole where he spent most of his time -- 130 yards out and in the rough.
