WELCOME TO DEERWOOD MEN'S CLUB
Fall Awards Banquet
4 pm, Saturday, October 26, 2024
Gentlemen,
Thank you for a great year of golfing with the Deerwood Men’s Golf Club.
However, before we conclude this season we will be holding our annual Fall Awards Banquet.
This year our Banquet will be held at the 1818 Bar & Grill on Saturday, October 26th, 2024. We will have a cocktail hour beginning at 4:00pm with dinner and awards to follow at 5:00 pm.
Along with our yearly winners being recognized, this is also an open meeting for all members of the Club to discuss issues and/or ideas for the 2025 season. A financial status report will be given as well as some changes coming for the next season. There is also a general election for members wanting to serve on the Board of Directors.
We will have 5 Board openings for next year and are hoping to fill these openings. This is an opportunity for members to learn the inner workings of the club as well as information pertaining to the Deerwood Golf Course and rule changes that may be implemented by the U.S.G.A.
We are hoping that you all can attend. Please respond back to me if you will be attending, or not. Also, if you wish to be on the Board next year, send me a separate email confirming your intent. I would like to have your response by October 19th.
See you at the Banquet!
Regards, Dave Walos – Secretary
Deerwood Men's Club Red & Blue
Memorial Tournament
Below and attached are the tee times for the Red/Blue Memorial Tournament this Saturday, 9/21/2024.
The front nine (Doe) will be held as a 2-man Better Ball match play contest for 1 point. The back nine (Fawn) will be played as 2 individual match play contests for 1 point each. A total of 3 points will be awarded for 12 sets of matches. All matches are played from the YELLOW tees.
I have used the 9-hole handicaps for each nine. They may be different from your 18-hole handicap. (Due to 2 different contests taking place) I used the handicaps from Sunday, Sept. 15th. I have made out the scorecard for each group and will hand them out Saturday. They have the designated handicaps and holes the handicap shall be used on.
Try and be at the course 1/2 hour before your designated tee time. Also, for the sake of faster play, gimmies are allowed. If you are out of the hole, or your shot is meaningless, you may pick it up. This will help speed up play.
After your round, you are invited to Mike Martin's house for some additional fun and games. (Mini golf, card games, cornhole, etc.) Mike is down the street from Deerwood at 1734 Sweeney.
Enjoy the day and have fun. Save Walos - Secretary
Just a reminder to all that if you’re on the Red team, wear a Red shirt.
If you're on the Blue team, wear a Blue shirt.
Keith Miranto will be bringing a few Men’s Club shirts for sale in Blue, Red and Gray colors.
Look for Keith at the course if you're interested.
Deerwood Men's Club
Red & Blue
Memorial Tournament
Fellow Deerwood Golfers,
We are in the process of setting up another Red and Blue Memorial Tournament. This is a memorial tournament for past members of the Deerwood Men's Club that have passed away.
For those of you that don't remember what the tournament is, it's two teams with members on each team. 2 Man B/B and match play is the format. We follow this event with a picnic at Mr. Mike Martins residence. We will have a barbeque with games and a fun time for all. To accomplish this, we would like each member who is participating to give $20 which will cover the cost for food, drinks, prizes, and whatever necessary costs that are required.
The tentative date for this Tournament will be Saturday, September 21st. All members are welcomed and will be assigned teams, once a "count" of participants is known. There will be a signup sheet posted in the Scoring Shanty. Deadline for signup will be September 7th. At that time, the sheet will be taken down and teams will be created.
Thank you all and I hope you are enjoying the season.
Regards,
Dave Walos - Secretary

Updated. April 23, 2024:
Our most recent board meeting was held on April 20th. The focus of the meeting was to review the budget and membership numbers for the 2024 season. Our Deerwood men's club membership currently stands at 91 members. We're looking to match or exceed the number of members we had last year which was 113. If anyone knows of a golfer that would like to join our men's club, please direct them to our website. The application can be found below.
You can also check out the North Tonawanda Facebook page for more information.
or,
You can contact any board member listed on our 2024 officer's page if you have any questions.
March 16, 2024: The spring social was held at the 1818 Bar & Grill on 3/16/24 and all who attended had a good time. The membership is at around 75 members with 7 being new members. It's going to be a challenge for this year's group to top the 113 members we had last year but there is plenty of time to encourage old members to rejoin and to recruit new members. There is a new tee time policy in place that is aimed at fairness for all golfers which may make getting consecutive weekend tee times for members of our club quite a daunting task to say the least. More on that to come. We have posted the tentative tournament schedule along with this year's rules sheet on the page"2024 Tournament Schedule". Get those dues in. The course is tentatively opening on April 1st but as you know, mother nature always has her way in the month of April and may impact the availability of carts early on. For this reason, our tournaments will not begin until early in May. Stay tuned and visit the Deerwood Golf Course web page (link above) for further updates. And join us on the Deerwood Men's Club Facebook page for more if you haven't already joined us there.
