Barman Shea serves a winning score for May Medal
AS one of the County Armagh Golf Club bar staff, Shea Brady has heard his fair share of tales of competitions won and lost on the local course.
But the talented young golfer will now have his own to share with the club punters after winning the May Medal.
Six-handicapper Shea served up a superb six under par nett score 64 to win the second of the club medal competitions this year.
After a flawless level par front nine, he birdie the par five 12th hole. After a string of excellent pars, a bogey at the 18th consumed that saved shot. But his nett six under par was still two shots better than all the rest.
After finishing runner up the previous day, Killylea man Andrew Millar looked well on his way to another winning score when he was one under par after nine holes. But bogeys at the 10th and 16th holes were to cost him. A nett 66 however, secured him the runners up prize - again!.
Alan Pedlow has at last found form and topped the Category 1 prize winners with a nett 67, nipping in in front of Colin Clarke who also returned a nett 67.
Tommy Mackin's nett 68 was the best in Category 2, by way of countback against Patrick Kelly who also returned a nett 68 for the runners up prize.
And Paul McKeown also claimed his first medal prize, winning Category 3 with a nett 69, one shot better than Eamon Toner whose 'eight' at the final hole punished him severely.
