AN HISTORIC CLUB WITH A MAGNIFICENT GEORGIAN PARKLAND SETTING SINCE 1893

Brian's pick of the crop!

Brian Wilson was pick of the crop in the Armagh Potato Company Ltd sponsored open stableford competition at County Armagh.

'Red', as his playing partners know him, produced the winning score in the Saturday competition - 41 points - on what many found a difficult track with swirling winds also wrecking havoc.

He 'dug-out' five pars on the opening front nine to 'gather' 20 points, and a further five pars plus a birdie three at the 17th hole saw him store another 21 points for a total barrowful of 41 points.

It was a whole furrow or point more than the rest of the field - Francis Tallon from Lurgan Golf Club was the next best spademan with 40 points and a better back nine than third placed Paddy Digby who returned the same score.

Killylea man Brian Loney boiled a up 40 points for his fourth place finish with Don McKee fifth on 39 points, his back nine proving better than that of another 39 pointer, Andrew Clarke, in sixth place. And Anthony Fagan had a tasty 38 points to take the final prize.

Gross Prize were won by Lugan Golf Club visitor Michael McSherry on 35 gross points with Conor McGurgan second on 34 gross points.
