Thomas Benson

I met Tom when he started his golf career in 1972 at MBCC. We has a lot of fun working at going to Caravellos sometimes after work. We also had some friendly 'bets' on a daily basis. Will it rain. When will this group be finished. He built a great working environment. He also had an influence on me becoming a PGA professional. And now I'm watching the Masters and thinking about him. RIP Tom.

Deepest sympathies Sandy and Anna, I'm sure you know you were Tom's world and he was so proud of both of you. I was lucky to know all of you and benefitted very much from Tom's guidance and caring. Rest easy old friend and thank you for your dedication to the game, the PGA and your team over many glorious years 💪.

Tom was a remarkable person. We met through golf and had many discussions on Golf technology. His memory will be carried well beyond our lifetimes.

Tom told me once that he had the job that he's always wanted when he was head pro at Odana Hills. I remember seeing him on the practice green with a bunch of kids not only teaching technique but more importantly teaching etiquette. Finding what you truly love can take a lifetime. Tom was lucky to have found that out early and he knew it well. Deepest sympathy to Sandy and family.

So sorry for your loss.
