Paul masters blustery conditions
BLUSTERY winds failed to deny Paul Pender victory in last Sunday's club stableford competition at County Armagh.
The County Minors captain produced the top score - 40 points - as all around him golfers struggled with some of the most difficult winds of the season.
Some very steady scoring saw the 14 handicapper chalk up an impressive 22 points on the front nine. And he maintained that steady form to return a further 18 on the back nine which might have been even better had he not failed to score at the 12th hole.
However, it was still two points better than all the rest. Andrew Millar was the nearest challenger with 38 points returned with a 2-under par round off his handicap of 2.
Michael Carson also returned 38 points but had to settle for third prize after count back - an unfortunate 'no-score' at the 18th hole proving costly.
