Ciaran gets season off to a winning start

CIARAN Black took the honours in the County Armagh Golf Club Open Stableford with an impressive 43 points from a Sunday afternoon round which included two 'no-scores'.

Francie Smyth returned the very same score and in similar fashion with two no-scores - unfortunately at the tenth and 18th holes on his homeward trek which, in countback, was the difference in winning and runners up.

Club Captain Brendan Smyth welcomed players from Mannan Castle, Galway, Dungannon and Rossmore to this the first Open competition of the season, and presented the prizes in front of a packed clubhouse as many took advantage of the St Patrick's Day bank holiday.

Despite failing to score at the second and fifth holes, winner Ciaran still managed to rack up 20 points by the turn. And he added a further 23 on the back nine holes to amass that 43 points tally.

Francie, in contrast was firing on all cylinders from the start and by the ninth hole had an incredible 26 points on his card. Disaster at ten and eighteen cost him dearly, with just a further 17 points collected in between.

Black and Smyth however, were two points clear of everyone else - Gerald McClusky's 41 points earned him third prize on a nine hole countback, Brendan Toner's 41 also secured fourth prize after a three-hole countback from fifth place Danny McGee. And Kieran Campbell's 40 points won him six prize.

Prizewinners who were not at the Presentation of Prizes will find their prizes in the Professional Shop

Declan's gang strike gold

DECLAN Lenagh captained an accomplished team of mid-teen handicap golfers to win the 4-Ball Eclectic at County Armagh Golf Club.

But did he recruit or was he recruited by his colleagues Andy Steed, Francie Grimley and Ian Millar?

Declan certainly wasn't declaring when he collected the St Patrick's Day competition prize with his team mates. Their 56 points top score, with Ian Millar's three birdies contribution, was two better than all others.

Two points adrift were the team of Terry Chin, Davy Baird, Brian Wilson and Rodney Lynas who deputised in the absence of a regular component part of this 4-ball!

Michael McGuirk, Oisin Gill, Brendan Lynch and Michael Cullen narrowly lost out on that runners up prize after finishing with 54points also. On countback two bogey holes at 16 and 17 ultimately cost them.

4th  Stephen Millar (121 pts - winning on 5th best card)

Derek has Spring in his step

DEREK McKeever mastered the mud and wet conditions to become the County Armagh Golf Club Spring League champion.

Scores of 42points, 39points and a final round 43points earned big Derek the coveted prize - the first to be presented in 2012 by new Club Captain Brendan Smith.

Inclement weather throughout the month of February and early March forced Competition's Convenor Paddy Burns to reduce the six week event to just five with individual's' three best cards counting towards the top score.

Impressive as it was, Derek's 124points was surprisingly equalled by Royal School teacher Ian Millar, but he was more than content to accept the runner's up prize after carding three consecutive top scores of 40, 39 and 45 points.

PJ Quinn picked up third prize with a total score 121points, which was equalled by no less than five players and only three of which featured in the remaining prizes. In order they were Killylea painter and decorator Steven Millar, Mark Loughran and Alec Nesbitt whose week three 45 points score was - along with that recorded by Ian Millar and Andy Steed - the competition's top score.

Missing out on the prizes with a 121 score also were Adam Pedlow and Ciaran Black.
