Seniors

  (Our iconic statue)

Do you like playing golf in a relaxed yet competitive manner?

Are you over 55?

Then get in touch with Deanwood Seniors via the Clubhouse on 01635 48772.

Normally the Seniors (Evergreens) meet on a Friday at 08.00 hours. During the winter months (November - March) this is 08.30 hours.

The Captain - Ray Bilton - is always willing to chat and can be contacted through the members section of the website or via the Pro shop.

If Friday is not convenient then there is an offshoot group (The Deans) meeting on Monday (11 am) and Wednesday ( 8 am). Their contacts are Gordon Neale, Colin Jones and Richard Jones all contactable through the website or the Pro shop.

No matter what time of year you are guaranteed a warm welcome here!

....... make sure you know the right handicap for each tee and that you are aware of all the local rules .

John  was walking home past St. Nic's the other day when he saw a spelling mistake on a headstone.     A grave error!

.......come and play golf with the Seniors...........

......................................you might take a shine to us!

This means that the draw for the Seniors will now take place at 08.00 hrs..

Winter Rules.

I don't really know if it's good news but Winter rules have been extended!

For clarification see the news section of the website.

Roll up.

Well with the better weather and buggies allowed eight seniors turned up to play before the match agaist Bassett Down got underway.

I'm a bit worried as only three of them completed eighteen holes!! Congratulations to Bob Giles who shot level par playing off his new handicap of 10!

Bob, Stuart and Malcolm, the three ....... survivors.

Matches.

Congratulations to our representatives who got the season off to a winning star with a 3.5 to 1.5 win over Bassett Down, they did have the consolation of both the longest drive and nearest the pin prizes though!

The winning team.

STAY SAFE!

Next week.

Who is this?

Have you heard this one ?

There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery.

One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen".

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age.

About a week after the new priest arrived. He visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen."

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word.

Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your wife fell three times this week."

Who said?

And now to hole eight which is in fact the eighth hole!

Was it:

a)  Nick Faldo

b)  Peter Alliss   or

c)  Hazel Irvine?

Did I?

Play Golf or just spoil another walk?

As you walk off the course next time ask yourself the following questions:

Did I enjoy myself?

Have I signed my card?

Did I replace my divots and repair my pitch marks?

You should answer YES to them all!
