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.

The Seniors ( Evergreens ) meet every Friday at 08.30 hrs.

The Captain - Raymond 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 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 .

March  Stableford / Eclectic .

The weather was certainly better this week and twice the number of seniors braved the bright morning to play the latest instalment of this contest.

Scores were below par and there was only one two (a feat that James also achieved last week as he was eager to tell me!)

The course is drying out and the greens are almost all back in play now thanks to the tireless work of the groundstaff......thank you all!

Sid, James and Bevan.

Well, well the sun finally shone on 13 Deans today so we played the least popular game format, ‘Killer’. Stableford counting all three scores..then multiplying them together! So if anyone of the team blobs, the score is…blob….

The scores largely reflected this horrible format but everyone was very brave….

Par was 144…

Team results

1st By a long, long way was Bren Coyle, Bevan Metcalf and Slim Collins with an eyewatering 158 points!

2nd was James Gould, Gordon Dobson and Nige Connor with 90 miserable points

3rd was Tony Finch, Adrian Little and Rob Martin with 65 even more miserable points (less than half of par)

And..

4th James Fisher, Mark Jurgens and Sid Edwards with 59 – no comment

But the weather WAS nice!

For those sharp-eyed Deans, the 13th player was Keith Endersby who was testing his painful back and didn’t join any of the teams..Get better soon Doc..

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!
