While his son Adam has been attracting more of the plaudits at County Armagh Golf club of late, Neil Cromwell’s recent competition victory served as a reminder that there’s more than one accomplished player in that particular household.
Cromwell Senior’s wonderful level-par round on 30 June comprised four birdies, four bogeys and 10 pars. And that earned him 39 points, which topped the leaderboard in a Club Stableford event.
Neil’s nearest neighbour in the Sunday standings was Brian Digby, who racked up a hefty haul of nine pars including four on the spin from the 11th to 14th. The 13-handicapper’s avoidance of any serious bother elsewhere ensured a fine 38-point total that clinched the runner-up award on a break of tie just ahead of Stephen Monaghan.
Stephen’s occupation of the bronze-medal berth, meanwhile, was the result of an excellent outing that featured a birdie on Old Coach Road and clipped his handicap to 12.
