He has been one of County Armagh's most consistent golfing campaigners over many years and, on 11 June, Paul Doyle lived up to that billing with a characteristically assured nett 66 to secure top spot in the Sunday stroke competition.
Doyle birdied the 3rd to nullify his bogey at the previous hole before further dropped shots at the 5th and 8th saw him reach the turn in 36 strokes.
A tremendous, if topsy-turvy, level-par back nine would follow, with the retired schoolteacher bogeying the 10th, 16th and 18th but slotting another birdie at the 12th and then holing his approach to the 14th green for a spectacular eagle two.
Paul's mastery of low-ball-flight golf is often admired, and he'll hope to earn more plaudits by consolidating the five-handicap status bestowed upon him by this excellent two-over-par round.
County Armagh Golf Club's index 18 and shortest par 5: the 12th, Ballyheridan.
On a day of relatively conservative scoring, Gary McDonald scooped the runner-up prize with a sterling nett 68.
Four pars punctuated Gary's 41-shot front nine and, when he fired a classy birdie at the 11th after another par at the Obelisk, it was very much game on for the then 15-handicapper.
When a treble bogey at the index 18 12th threatened to scupper his Sunday chances, McDonald steadied himself commendably and produced a solid finish that saw him drop only four more strokes on the home straight.
Only a disappointing seven at the 18th prevented Sean Dougan Snr from having a say at the summit of the overall standings because, otherwise, he played quite beautifully. However, the 10-handicapper's nett 68, which included a 10-par haul and a bonus birdie at the 10th, did at least win category 1.
Runner-up to Sean in the 0-12 handicap range was Brian Loney, whose frill-free but trouble-free nett 69 comprised 11 pars and seven bogeys.
For a second consecutive Sunday, the category 2 honours went to Laurence Corr, who eventually signed for a nett 69 having racked up eight pars to repair the damage done by a five-over-par sequence from the 3rd to the 5th.
Brendan Lynch's nett 71, which bagged him second position, was a veritable mixed bag, in which the highs of birdies at the 3rd and 15th were undermined by an untidy 6, 6, 7 climax.
After Shea Brady took home the gross prize from the Lonsdale Cup 24 hours earlier, his father Turlough, determined not to be outdone, put together a respectable nett 72 to triumph in category 3.
Losing out to Brady the elder on a break of tie was Jason Yau, who parred the 4th, 7th, 11th and, most notably, 16th on his way to second place.
In the weekly Open on Wednesday 14 June, Kyle Johnson emerged victorious with a magnificent 42 points that clips his handicap to 12. On the same day, Ian Millar maintained his recent sound form, carding 40 points to win the seniors' competition.
