The last green Kirkhill GC (sunset tribute)

Written by Scott K Marshall

This is a sunset tribute to my late father, Thomas (Tommy) Marshall – 19 Oct 1936 to 20 Apr 23

The photograph is the 18th Green at Kirkhill Golf Course; we were both members here, as well as his father before him – I have some magical memories of him teaching me not only to play but also the fine details of golf etiquette; he introduced me to Badminton, photography and Glasgow Rangers – he was a shy & gentle human being who was supportive in everything me and my sisters pursued.

RIP, Dad; you were a great father who will be sorely missed.

  1. SIncere condolences. It’s not an easy thing, losing a parent. May the treasured memories outweigh the sense of loss…. 🙏

  2. That is a grand tribute and suggests you will have a vast store of great memories. They can never make up for your loss but may ease the pain just a little, ànd perhaps bring a smile when the going is tough for you and your family. Best wishes

    1. Thank you so much, David – you are spot on; a lot of great memories – everything he did, he had a passion for it. A huge influence on my life.

  3. I’m so sorry for your loss Scott. All I can say is something someone told me when I lost my father: it hurts now and there is nothing but sadness, but eventually when you think of your dad you’ll mainly think of the good times and smile.

    1. Hey, thank you, Rob; it is amazing to think we have been here so long; he introduced me to photography, golf, badminton, and some great music. cheers
