THE STAGS
The Stags were established in 1993 as an integral part of the Stoneleigh Deer Park Golf Club for members aged 55 or over, retired or semi-retired. There are currently over 140 members and our main aim is to enjoy our golf in convivial company. The annual subscription for 2012/13 remains at £5 which now includes automatic entry into the summer and winter Eclectic Competitions and eligibility for any other Stags events at the relevant entry fee. A further £5 with your subscription gets you entry into the popular summer & winter Knock-out Competitions. Enrolment forms and subscription envelopes are held in the Club office and the Pro Shop.
The Stags Committee is elected annually at our January A.G.M. and from 1st April 2012:
Frank Rounthwaite Stags Captain
Charles McTear Vice Captain
Peter Jamieson Immediate Past Captain
John Chard Secretary
Mike Lovie Treasurer
Richard Parham Competitions Secretary
Martin Rennolds Committee Member
John Woodward Committee Member
A full programme of matches and competitions is organised for summer and winter seasons and includes home and away matches with a dozen local Clubs, matches with the Ladies and Junior Sections, Away-Days and various trophy competitions. Most weeks there is a Stableford or Medal competition, held on Monday and Tuesday throughout the summer, and these are varied with the occasional Pairs Better Ball, Texas Scramble or other interesting competition format. Add to these the singles and pairs Knock-out competitions and the Winter League and you should find something to interest every player throughout the year.
Members are encouraged to participate in the main Club competitions and to support the various social functions arranged during the year. Our fun competition followed by Christmas Lunch is always popular and we hold an annual Stags Dinner with our ladies and guests every March.
Stags may be found playing any weekday and new members wishing to join in will usually find company around the Pro Shop between 8am and 9.30am. Mondays and Tuesdays are the normal Stags competition days and entry for these is via the Pro Shop. There is a special Stags notice board in the men’s changing room displaying information, competition forms and news about the Stags section and there are sections on the club website with reports and matters of specific Stags interest.
