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 .

He said he only had his shelf to blame!

October 6-6-6.

There were 12 bemused faces as Skipper Raymond Bilton explained the scoring for this three format game but all went well on a cloudy yet warmish day.

85 was par for this contest so well done everyone for beating it!

Nigel, Bob and James.

Who is this?

Have you heard this one ?

A librarian is working away quietly one afternoon, stamping books and putting them on the trolley, when a chicken walks in.   

The chicken comes up to the counter and says "book, book, book". 

The librarian looks around, shrugs, and hands the chicken three books.  Off it goes, books under one wing.

A couple of days later it's another peaceful afternoon when the chicken returns. 

It goes up to the counter and says "book, book, book". 

The librarian gives it three more books and off it goes again, books under one wing.

This goes on for a few weeks. 

Then one day the chicken turns up and says "book, book, book". 

"Hang on," thinks the librarian, "three weeks are up and it's not brought back that first lot." 

So she does nothing. 

But the chicken just stands there, peering up at her, and saying "book, book, book". 

Eventually she gives in, just to be rid of the thing - she hands it another three books and off it goes with them under one wing.

This too goes on for a few weeks.  By now the chicken has had several dozen books and not returned one of them.  Nothing the librarian does seems to get the message across.  Every time the chicken turns up, it ends up leaving with three books under its wing.  By now she's getting worried.  The missing books are starting to show, and she thinks she might get into a bit of trouble - not least for lending books to a chicken.  So one day she decides to do something about it.

The chicken arrives, walks up the counter, and says "book, book, book". 

The librarian hands it three books and off it goes with them under one wing.  When it's turned the corner the librarian lifts the counter and tiptoes out after it.  She trails it down the road, and across the park, and through the town, and past the school, and through a gate onto a farm, and down the farm track, and past the barn and the hayloft and even the chicken run, until at last she sees it by the side of a pond.  She hides behind a couple of milk churns to watch.

The chicken puts down the books and says "book, book, book".

A frog crawls up out of the pond and picks them up.

One by one it throws the books over its shoulder into the deepest part of the pond.  And every time it does that, it says "reddit - reddit - reddit".

08/10/25

 16 of us went out in teams of 2, ( 4 tees of 4) to play a Four Ball Betterball competition in very pleasantly mild early October conditions.

Rain threatened but never actually materialised.

In reverse order the results were as follows:
Colin C. & Keith C. 32 points
Slim & Sid  36 points
Tom & Gordon 37 points
Nick B. & Nigel  a miserable 39 points
John the Cab and James G. 42 points
and in the money in 3rd place:
Richard T. & James F. a stunning 42 points.
2nd place: Tony and Rod 43 points. (lucky!)
and very lucky in 1st place Dave M. & Brendan with 45 points.
Best rounds of the day were Richard T & Rod with 38 points.
Did I mention the best rounds of the day?
Richard T. & Rod 38 points each. 
Regards Richard T. (yes, the same Richard with 38 points!)

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!
