WHEN Gareth Grimley closed his round with an eight (8) at the par four 18 th hole, he had every reason to believe he'd blown his chances of winning a coveted County Armagh Golf Club Medal.
But his impressive steady scoring earlier cushioned the gaffe so much so that his finishing nett 63 score was still the best in the competition.
