WELCOME TO DEERWOOD MEN'S CLUB
Newly crowned Club Champions 2023: Gordy Shanor (B), Kevin Russell (A), Pete Heuser (C) and Greg Breloff (SR)
UPDATE SEPT. 18th:
The weekly winners for the rescheduled Week 1 cancellation are now up on the Weekly winners page. That leaves us 1 more weekly Tournament this week of Sept 18-24 for a reschedule of Week 7's 2-man scramble. This Saturday will be the annual Memorial Tournament honoring the memories and lives of those Men's Club members who are up in the big fairway in the sky. There's about 50 members who signed up to play in the Memorial. The after party is being hosted by Mike & LuAnn Martin immediately following the event. With the conclusion of our season, plans are in the works for our year-end banquet which is tentatively scheduled for October 21st at the Third Warders Club. More on that after the Board meets on Oct. 2nd at 7 pm at Third Warders Club. We'll be looking to the membership for some fresh ideas and volunteers for next year's Board as several members are coming off the Board. If anyone is interested in being part of the solution and not just a disenting bag of wind, please speak to a current Board member to express your desire to help.

UPDATE July 10, 2023:
- Weekly winners for Week 10 are posted on the Weekly Winners page.
- Despite swirling rumors you may have heard, the Board has decided against switching to Summer Rules for the remainder of the year.
- Winter rules are in effect which means nudging the ball on your own fairway (out of divot holes and bare spots) is allowed (within one club length no nearer to the hole). If you are in the rough, you must play the ball as it lies. The only time you can take a drop in the rough is if your ball is in casual water otherwise, you can take an unplayable lie which will cost you a penalty stroke and you must take a drop (nearest point of relief but still in the rough) no closer to the hole. You may rake and place in all sand traps at your option for the remainder of the year.
UPDATE JULY 23, 2023:
Weekly winners for Week 12 are now posted

Update Sunday May 7th:
Week 2 is a GO starting tomorrow with preferred lies being the ground rules until further notice. Here's the Rule explained:
How Far You Can Move a Ball Under Preferred Lies That's up to the entity that is invoking the local rule. The USGA and R&A, in their recommended wording for the local rule, do not specify any distance. The sample local rule says only that a ball lifted under preferred lies must be placed "on a spot within (specify area, e.g., six inches, one club-length, etc.) of and not nearer the hole than where it originally lay, that is not in a hazard and not on a putting green." We noted earlier that six inches is probably the most-common length used in the local rule; that is, you can move the ball up to six inches. But other standards are used, too: Some courses or tournaments may state the ball can be moved "one scorecard" away (the length of the scorecard). Others may use a one-club-length standard. (The pro tours usually, but not always, go with one club-length.) The Lift, Clean and Place Procedure The phrase "lift, clean and place" really tells you all you need to know about the proper procedure for moving a ball under the condition of the preferred lie: You must not bump it, roll it, foot wedge it, toss it or pick up the ball and drop it. You must mark the ball's original position before lifting. Use a ballmarker, a tee, whatever. You are allowed to clean the ball after lifting. (Pervasive mud on the course is one of the most common reasons for implementing preferred lies.) After cleaning, you must place the ball—again, no bumping, rolling, kicking, tossing, etc.—on a spot within the distance specified by the local rule in effect. The specimen local rule is printed in the rule book and on the USGA and R&A websites in Appendix I to the Rules of Golf, Section 3-b.
UPDATE SUNDAY APRIL 30TH:
Tournament Chairman Mark Godfrey has cancelled Week 1
Tournament play for Week 1 (May 1-7). This week's Tournament will be tacked on to the end of the season (Sept 11-17). We're certain the weather will be much better in the month of September than it will be here in early May. Mark's cell # is 480-7553 or you can email your questions to him by clicking his name above.
The additional week will also allow you new members to get your (3) 18 hole scores in to establish your handicaps which you need to participate in any tournaments. If you have 9 hole scores, go ahead and post them as they will be combined with other 9 hole scores to compute your handicap. Our handicap chairman Wally Hawthorn will be back from his winter vacation this week and would be more than happy to help any of you who need help with the handicap system. Call him at 472-9537 or email him by clicking into his name above.
We are hopeful our Tournaments will begin on May 8th but stay tuned and keep hitting them. The good weather has to break out at some point.
Prefered lies are in place. You may lift, rake and place in all bunkers. Greenside bunkers on #4 Fawn & #6 Fawn remains ground under repair and you take a free lift no closer to the hole keeping the trap between you and the hole. If you need help on any of the rules, check the "Rules & Greens/Weekly Tournament Rules" page or ask the Rules Chairman Greg Breloff or Tournament Chairman Mark Godfrey. Their phone #'s and email links are on the "2003 Officers Page".
We have 106 paid members as of 4/29/23 including 22 new and returning former members.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 25, 2023
February 25th, 2023
Fellow Club Members,
I hope all is well with you and yours. Even though the calendar says that it is only late February, the 2023 Golf Season is right around the corner. We had an exciting year in 2022 with a couple of minor differences with our banquets/golf get- togethers being held at the 3rd Warders Club instead of the restaurant/clubhouse.
The board held its first meeting on Saturday February 4th welcoming several new board members including your 2023 Club President, Tim Augugliaro. The board has discussed the venues for our club functions. While the restaurant will be re-opening in 2023, the board is still working on the logistics of what it is going to take to hold our events there again like we have in year’s past. Stay tuned as further details for the summer picnic and year end banquet. The board will relay this information to you, our members, as the information becomes available. The board is set to meet again on Saturday March 4th at 11:30 AM at the Third Warders Club.
The 2023 membership application is available on our website. This has been provided by our website guru and Vice President, Keith Miranto. Also posted is the tentative Tournament schedule thanks to our Tournament chairman Mark Godfrey, Any new ideas as to what you would like to see on the website, feel free to pass along these ideas.
Here are some of the dates you may want to mark on your calendar.
Saturday April 22nd will be our Spring Social at the 3rd Warders Club at 2PM . With the restaurant open date still in question, the board has made the decision to use the 3rd Warders Club again. Come on out and have a couple of drinks, pay your dues, get information on the club, and talk golf with your fellow members of the club. If you know of any new members, who would like to join the club, please encourage them to the Spring Social, join the Club, & meet some of the members of the club. You will receive a $10 gift card for referring any new member once they join the club. Refer and get rewarded for as many new members as you want!
August 5th & 6th is our club championship weekend with the picnic on the 6th. Venue is TBD as the board waits to see how things play out with the new folks running the restaurant.
November 4th is our fall banquet. Again the Venue is TBD as the board waits to see how things play out with the new folks running the restaurant.
The application for 2023 is on the "Membership Page". Click on that page and download an applicaton. Fill it out and send it in to our P.O.

Fellow Club Members,
I hope all is well with you and yours. Even though the calendar says that it is only late February, the 2023 Golf Season is right around the corner. We had an exciting year in 2022 with a couple of minor differences with our banquets/golf get- togethers being held at the 3rd Warders Club instead of the restaurant/clubhouse.
The board held its first meeting on Saturday February 4th welcoming several new board members including your 2023 Club President, Tim Augugliaro. The board has discussed the venues for our club functions. While the restaurant will be re-opening in 2023, the board is still working on the logistics of what it is going to take to hold our events there again like we have in year’s past. Stay tuned as further details for the summer picnic and year end banquet. The board will relay this information to you, our members, as the information becomes available. The board is set to meet again on Saturday March 4th at 11:30 AM at the Third Warders Club.
The 2023 membership application is available on our website. This has been provided by our website guru and Vice President, Keith Miranto. Also posted is the tentative Tournament schedule thanks to our Tournament chairman Mark Godfrey, Any new ideas as to what you would like to see on the website, feel free to pass along these ideas.
Here are some of the dates you may want to mark on your calendar.
Saturday April 22nd will be our Spring Social at the 3rd Warders Club at 2PM . With the restaurant open date still in question, the board has made the decision to use the 3rd Warders Club again. Come on out and have a couple of drinks, pay your dues, get information on the club, and talk golf with your fellow members of the club. If you know of any new members, who would like to join the club, please encourage them to the Spring Social, join the Club, & meet some of the members of the club. You will receive a $10 gift card for referring any new member once they join the club. Refer and get rewarded for as many new members as you want!
August 5th & 6th is our club championship weekend with the picnic on the 6th. Venue is TBD as the board waits to see how things play out with the new folks running the restaurant.
November 4th is our fall banquet. Again the Venue is TBD as the board waits to see how things play out with the new folks running the restaurant.
