Ricky’s a first –time winner

NEWCOMER Ricky Dobbs picked up the first major prize of his golfing career after winning the Professional’s Competition at County Armagh Golf Club.

The young golfer who only joined the city club earlier this year, chalked up an impressive 45 points to pick up Pro Alan Rankin’s prize presented annually.

Ricky’s excellent 24 points from the back nine holes complimented 21 on the front nine for that impressive top score, which was two points better than all the rest on the day.

John Brannigan was the nearest challenger on 42 points and deservedly picked up the runner’s up prize – birdies at the 4^th and 9^th holes helping him on his way.

Michael Curley also returned 42 points to take the Category 1 handicap first prize – two points better than Kieran Donnelly on 42. Kieran collected the runners up prize.

Christopher Stockdale made a return to the winner’s enclosure with his 41points the best in Category 2. Darren O’Hagan was runner up but will have been sorely disappointed by his hat-trick of double bogeys to finish!

Gerry Cullen meanwhile, was the top scorer in Category 3 with 39 points and pipped Neal Cassin – also returning 39 points – to first prize by virtue of a better back nine.

John Maguire’s 36points claimed the Best Gross prize on the day.

• Determined Brian lifts Lenagh trophy
• HAVING missed out by the narrowest of margins on winning the Gerry Lenagh Memorial Trophy last year, Brian McGuigan was determined to go that one step further this time around to secure the magnificent piece of silverware.
• And by returning 42 points in the Morgan, McLernon Transport Distribution sponsored stableford competition he did just that!
• Ironically the eventual outcome was decided on count back - as it was last year - but on this occasion it favoured the retired firefighter. Marc Elliott was the 'unfortunate' runner up, having signed for a similar 42 points on the day.
• Bogeys at the first and third holes got 9-handicapper Brian's round off to an unsteady start. But he quickly settled into a a 'par' routine and with a birdie 2 to complete his front nine, had penciled in 21 points by the turn.
• That steady scoring continued on the back nine and with further birdies at the 14th and 17th holes a similar 21 points was registered for that top score of 42 points.
• Ten handicapper Marc Elliott stroked birdie 2s at the 7th and 9th holes as he chalked up 22 points on his outward trek, and added a further 20 points on his was back for his 42 points total. Unfortunately on count back he was to lose out to Brian and had to settle for the runner's up prize.
• PJ Quinn, a further point adrift on 41 points and claiming third prize, was one of four players to return the same score on the day. But again count back was called upon to decide the outcome with  Brian Loney claiming fourth, Johnny Brown fifth and Colin Woods who disappointingly failed to score at the 17th hole, taking sixth.
• And the final prize went to Winston Gordon on 40 points - back-nine birdies at the 11th and 14th holes the highlight of his round. 
• Best Gross scores on the day were returned by Philip Kelly and Neill Cromwell each returning 36 points.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Pat McAleavey presents Brian McGuigan with the Gerry Lenagh Memorial Trophy in the company of the stableford competition runners up Johnny Brown, Neil Cromwell and Winston Gordon.
