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 - 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 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 .

I said to John that I thought it would be a good idea to start up a group to talk about modern topics and eat pasta at the same time!

I thought we could call it 'A penne for your thoughts!'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

..............you could cut your score!

July Strokeplay Bowmaker.

Scorchio!

Mad dogs and twelve Seniors battled the heat and scorched fairways in a 'best two from three' competition.

It was very close but the winning team edged it by one shot!

Well survived!

Rob, Malcolm and Colin.

The game thrives at  Deanwood.

Even our flag is wilting?

STAY SAFE!

Who is this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you heard this one ?

A man wanted Valentine's Day to be special, so he bought a bottle of absinthe and stopped by the florist's to order a bouquet of his wife's favorite flower: white anemones.

Unfortunately, the florist was sold out of flowers and had only a few stems of feathery ferns.

The man asked the florist to make a bouquet out of the ferns and the flask of liquor.

He added a card and proceeded home.

After a romantic candlelight dinner, he presented his wife with the gift.

She opened the card to read, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder."

With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, "Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones."

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!
