Left to Right Greg Breloff (Senior), Tom Wesley(A), Steve Sutherland (B), and Frank Fasanella (C) were this years Club Champions in their respective classes. Congratulations one and all for a great weekend of comradeship and competition. The net winners were Tom Jaccarino (Senior), Craig Kosnikowski (A), Donn Schubert (B) and Dave Schreiner (C).  Final results are up n the Club Championship page. Congratulations to all !
UPDATE: July 26, 2022 - We are now inside 2 weeks until our Tournament of the year: Our Club Championship. 4 men will rise to the top of their respective classes to join the ranks of our past club champions. Our Tournament plaques hang in the Shanty and also are up on the website for all to look at and imagine yourselves joining the rich tradition of our Men's club. There will also be a Net winner in each of the A-B-C & Senior divisions. If you are a senior  (60 years of age) you may compete in the traditional field A-B-C (white tees only) based on your home handicap (we play BUCK-DOE in our club championship) or you may opt for the Senior championship (from the yellow tees). All other players under 60 play in the traditional A-B-C classes. "A" handicap is 9 and under; "B" class is 10-15 handicap and "C" class is 16 and up. There is a sign-up sheet posted in the Shanty for each member to fill out and let us know  which Tournament you will be competing in. The championship is a two day competition on August 6 and 7th. The final round is followed by our Summer Picnic. This year's picnic will be held at the Third Warders Club (147 12th Avenue in NT) starting at 4 pm at the outside pavilion and will feature a steak dinner, corn-on-the-cob, baked potato and salad. We will also have an open bar, draft beer & pop available. There is no additional fee for the club championship or the summer picnic as that is included in your $100 league fee you paid at the beginning of the season. We will have a 50/50 raffle and closest to the pin prizes both days. If anybody wants to run a skins game, have at it but your board members will have enough on their plates that weekend. We have lined up some volunteers from the Deerwood Ladies club to help us signing guys in both days so you report to the table 1/2 hour before your scheduled tee time to get your instuctions. On Monday August 1st, whatever your handicap is that morning , that will be your handicap for the Club Championship and will determine the class you are competing in. The Board will meet at Deerwood on Monday night August 1 to put all the foursomes together. You should see the tee times and groups sometime Monday evening. Please keep in mind that the club championship is an opportunity for you to compete against and with some guys that you may or may not ever competed against. Who knows, you may even make a new friend! Not having a concessionare at the golf course has proved to be a challenge for us this year but it also has a silver lining as we can control our costs a little better. We will be using member Mike Martin's (thanks Mikey!) grill to cook hot dogs on both Saturday and Sunday at the course. They will be available at around noon Saturday and at the turn on Sunday. We might just have the famous Miranto hot peppers in play to garnish your dogs with. Start sharpening your games fellows and play the ball as it lies! And if anyone of you wants to help out either Satuday or Sunday, just let us know!

UPDATE: JULY 16, 2022
Summer Rules are now in effect starting on Week 12,  Day 1. Any questions, contact Rules Chairman Dennis Serafin at 474-3721. The course is in great shape but I'm sure that some of you who aren't used to playing summer rules will have questions about some of the areas of the course that are in question. One thing is for certain though, there is NO FREE DROP if your ball goes into any environmental areas. That information about free drops in the enviromental areas is printed on the score cards but DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR MEN CLUB RULES! The red stakes were put into place by our board members and should be treated as a hazard one stroke penalty. We are getting you all ready for the Club Championship which is coming up on August 6-7. There will soon be a sign-up sheet in the shanty for our premier two day event. We need to know #1 If you are participating and #2 If you are playing from the traditional White tees in classes A-B-C or if you are 60 years old, you can compete in the Senior division (yellow tees). There is no additional fee to play in the Club Championship as that is included in the $100 fee you paid to join the club. Any further questions, call President Keith Miranto at 531-0436. The board will be meeting shortly to lay out the Club Championship details and Summer Picnic on Sunday August 7.


Update July 5, 2022:
Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July Holiday and our Red, White and Blue Tournament last week. The winner in each class are up on the Weekly Winners page. And just a reminder to all winners: Gordy Shanor is the Prize chairman and he will get you your gift cards in short order. If you need the card sooner, call Gordy at 432-5417and make arrangements to meet him. He's at the course at least 3 times a week. We don't mail the cards for fear of losing them in the mail and also to save on postage. THANK YOU guys for your understanding.
Update: June 20: Hope everyone had a nice Fathers Day Weekend. The Week 7 winners are now posted on the Weekly Winners page as we move into the Week #8 Tournament which is Medal Play in all 4 classes. The President's Cup matches have been updated on that page through last Saturday's completed matches. Just a reminder, Tim Augugliaro reminded me to advise all players to please rake all sand traps after you get done playing in them. We are getting a little sloppy on our clean-ups fellows. If you land in a footprint or any other area in a trap that you deem caused by neglegance of another player or perhaps an animal, you may rake and place. Check with your playing partners first but it's well within the rules of golf to do so. Good luck to the 18 guys who are carrying the Deerwood flag to the Charles Barton WNYPLGA event for A & B Flight players at Hyde Park this coming weekend. Do us proud, men!
Keith Miranto, President

UPDATE MONDAY JUNE 6, 2022:
THE PRESIDENTS CUP QUALIFIERS ARE ON THE PRESIDENTS CUP PAGE AND IN THE SHANTY. PLEASE MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO GET YOUR FIRST ROUND MATCHES PLAYED BEFORE JUNE 13 SO WE ARE NOT HOLDING UP THE WHOLE PROCESS.
​CONGRATULATIONS TO MEMORIAL CUP WINNER BOB KROLCZYK WHO HAD A 78-15 for 63 net last week.
UPDATE MAY 30, 2022 - GROUND RULE CHANGE !!!
Starting this week on MAY 30th we are on WINTER RULES
This means you may only move the ball within one scorecard length ON YOUR OWN FAIRWAY through the green. If you are in the rough, you play the ball as it lies. If you are in casual water, you may take a drop at the nearest point of relief but no closer to the hole.

This Week 5 is the Presidents Cup qualifier.
Here's a couple of things to consider in Week 5:
  • To qualify, you nust play from the WHITE tees and mark and IN or OUT next to your name on the scoring sheet in the shanty before playing.
  • If you are OUT for the Presidents Cup qualifier and you signed up then you are only playing the weekly tournament. 
  • The rotation is BUCK-FAWN this week. Whatever your handicap is from BUCK-FAWN is your Presidents Cup qualifier handicap and determines which Flight you are in. (A 0-9, B 10-15, C 16 and up).
  • SENIORS OLY: You may try to qualify from the White tees AND play the Senior Tournament for the week from the Golds but you can only win one prize for the week.
  • Top 8 qualifiers in the Presidents Cup in each flight (A ,B and C) are seeded and square off the following week. 
  • Once you qualify, upon agreement of both parties, you may play any set of tees in your match but if you are playing your weekly Tournament at the same time, you must hole out every hole just as you would in any weekly tournament.
