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!

It's that time of year again!

If you haven't had your renewal notice or you are not a member yet now is the time to cough up the cash!

John will gladly show you all the options available or look them up online!

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

John  told me the other day that the man who invented Velcro had died!

R.I.P!

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

......................................you might get a birdie!

Who is this?

Have you heard this one ?

A teenage boy had recently developed an interest in weight lifting. His father was skeptical, not knowing if his son would be responsible in this new venture, but accompanied him to the sports equipment store anyway. After perusing the shelves for a bit, the boy eventually found a set of weights he liked. "Dad, can we get these?"

The father looked the weight set over skeptically. "Hmm, I don't know."

"Please, Dad," the boy begged. "I promise I'll use them every day."

"You do realize this is a very big commitment, I assume."

"I know, Dad."

"They're also fairly expensive."

"I'll use them, Dad, I promise."

"Well....okay."

The father then pays for the equipment and they headed for the door.

"Awww," the son whined. "You mean I have to carry them to the car?"

Who said?

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!
