(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 - 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

Who is this?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you heard this one ?
A man walks into a restaurant in London with a full-grown ostrich following closely behind. The waitress approaches and asks for their order.
“I’ll have a hamburger, fries, and a Coke,” the man says. Then, turning to the ostrich, he asks, “What about you?”
“I’ll have the same,” the ostrich replies.
A short while later, the waitress returns with their food. “That’ll be £19.40,” she says. The man reaches into his pocket and, without hesitation, pulls out the exact amount.
The next day, the pair returns. Again, the man orders a hamburger, fries, and a Coke, and the ostrich echoes his choice. Once more, the man reaches into his pocket and produces the exact change.
This routine continues daily until Friday night. As they walk in, the waitress greets them, “The usual?”
“Not tonight,” the man replies. “It’s Friday, so I’ll have a steak, baked potato, and a salad.”
“Same,” says the ostrich.
The waitress serves their meals and says, “That’ll be £62.62.” Without missing a beat, the man reaches into his pocket and hands over the precise amount.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, the waitress asks, “Sir, how do you always have the exact change, no matter the price?”
The man smiles. “Years ago, I was cleaning out my attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie appeared and granted me two wishes. For my first wish, I asked that whenever I had to pay for something, I could just reach into my pocket and always pull out the right amount.”
“That’s incredible!” the waitress exclaims. “Most people would just wish for a fortune, but you’ll never run out of money!”
“That’s right,” the man nods. “Whether I need a gallon of milk or a luxury car, the money is always there.”
The waitress glances at the ostrich. “And what about your second wish?”
The man sighs, shaking his head. “I wished for a tall bird with long legs who agrees with everything I say.”

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!
