December Medal.
It was no real surprise that there was a very small entry for the December Medal.
No buggies and very cold weather kept many at home.
The trying conditions meant high scores but well done all for completing the course!

Who is this?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you heard this one ?
Little Johnny was having problems in English class, so his teacher decided to stop by on her way home to speak with his parents.
When she rang the bell, Little Johnny opened the door.
The teacher said, "Hello, Johnny. I would like to talk to your mother or your father".
Little Johnny said, "Sorry, but they ain't here".
The teacher said, "Johnny, why is your grammar so bad?"
"Beats me," said Little Johnny, "but dad sure was mad that they had to go and bail her out again."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who said?
We should be allowed to wear shorts. LPGA women are allowed to wear them and we've got better legs than them"
Was it:
a) Sandy Lyle
b) Nick Faldo
or
c) Greg Norman
?

The Deans.
Monday Matins.
(Notes from Friar Neale)
1 / 12 / 25
No Game - RAIN!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday Wizards.
( Musings from The Elders)
3 / 12 / 25
Thirteen of us set out today in ever improving weather. Balls were hard to find, due in part to a low sun, but mostly to not hitting them straight. We played a Hi-Lo stableford format, adding the best and worst scores on each hole and, as expected, scores were low (and close)....
First, with 54 points - Dave Milsom, Gordon Dobson, Sid Edwards (and James Gould pars partis)
2nd with 51 - Bren Coyle, John 'the cabby' Larch and James Fisher
3rd with 50 - Richard Jones, Rod Spring and Colin Cox
4th (and last) with 49 - Nige Connor, Bevan Metcalf and Keith Count.
Best individual score of the day was Sid with 34, finishing well with 5 straight pars.
Don't forget that next week is the Dean's Christmas lunch at Donnington and Co, with 9 holes of golf for a hardy few, so no tee times booked at Deanwood on the 10th.
Cheers
Bren

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!
