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.

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 .

R.I.P. Robert Butler.

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Robert Butler on Monday 12th January.

Our thoughts and prayers go to Mona and the rest of the family.

His wit and smile will be sadly missed.

Robert's family have informed us that there will be no formal funeral service to attend but there will be a celebration of his life held at the Golf Club after the Seniors contest on Friday 30th January.

This will start at about noon,

All are invited to attend and if anyone would like to say a few words an opportunity to do so will arise.

Stableford .

With temporary tees and greens in operation this week there was just a 'fun' contest held in very soggy conditions.

Still, those that turned out had a jolly romp and a good chat!

Nigel, Bob and Raymond.

The Deans finally got to play after a frustrating week of no golf last week. Nevertheless only 8 turned up on a frosty, still and sunny morning to play a 4-ball of 4 teams of 2 – all scores count.

We were rewarded with a sunny finish and a glimpse of Spring when the fairways began to thaw.

The team results were:

1st Bevan Metcalf and Adrian Little with 64 points

2nd Colin Cox and Nige Connor with 55 points (on countback)

3rd Keith Endersby and Rod Spring also with 55 points

4th Brendan Coyle and Gordon Dobson with 46 points

Best scores of the day were Bevan Metcalf and Nige Connor both with 33. Bevan was number 1 on countback.

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!
