Jim's Bruce and breezy for stableford win

Jim Bruce mastered the breezy conditions to win the Sunday Club Stableford with 41 points.

The 16-handicapper might not have got off to the best possible start with double bogeys at the first and second holes. But he steadied to chalk up 20 points by the turn. A further double bogey at the tenth kicked off the second half but again he steadied to add a further 21 points for his winning score.

In a reduced field from the previous day, five handicapper Craig Talbot deservedly picked up second prize and with it a double share of the Two's Pot with birdies at the third and 11th holes. His 40 points pushed Paddy Campbell into third spot - a no-score at the ninth hole costing Paddy big time.

Danny Maxwell also returned 39 points and failed to score at the 10th hole, but still picked up fourth prize. And Peter Murphy's 38 points earned him the last of the prizes on the day.

Jim's untouchable in Medal

If your going to win a Medal competition, win it with an impressive score - at least that's what Jim McKeown's thinking is!

His nine-under nett 61 was untouchable in the Spetember Medal - by four clear shots.

An 18-handicapper, Jim was just three over after nine holes, dropping shots at the fourth, ffith and eighth holes. But five straight pars followed before he dropped anymore - unfortunately three at the 15th hole. But even with three further bogeys over the final three holes he was still always going to be a winner.

His nearest challenger was Andrew McTaggart who returned a nett 65. The 12-handicapper was five over after nine but just two over the back nine for a deserved second best score on the day.

Kyle Wilson will rue his double bogey at the 18th which ultimately cost him that runners up spot. But his nett 66 led the category prizes, with young Mark Shannon picking up second in Category One with a nett 66 also.

Colm McEvoy bagged the Category Two first prize with a similar nett 66 with Andrew Clarke losing out on countback.

And in Category Three Gervase McGuigan's nett 66 took the plaudits with John Sheehan similarly beaten on countback.

Club stroke win for lucky Leo

Leo King will not hear of any suggestions his Club Stroke Competition win on Sunday was lucky!

The 17-handicapper produced the best nett score on the day - 63 - to take the honours in the final event of the 2011 summer season.

Four opening pars set him on his way and although he double bogeyed the fifth and eighth holes either side of bogeys seven and nine, he was still only six over at the turn. Par, birdie, par, par kicked off the back nine and despite dropped shots at 14, 15, 16 and 17, he still had done enought to win it.

Niall McGeown's nett 64 deservedly earned him the runners up prize and Jim Bagnall might have been a further two shots a drift with a nett 66 but still picked up third prize.

Marty Oliver and Martin Grimley had to be separated on countback for fourth and fifth prizes respectively, and Jerome Leer rounded up the half dozen prize winners with a nett 68.

John Maguire, a category winner the previous day, collected his second prize of the weekend with the Best Gross, 71.

Terry's card marked for Professional Alan's prize

Terry Hamilton literally had his card marked even before he hit a ball in County Armagh Golf Club Professional Alan Rankin's annual stroke competition.

For when the 16-handicapper was presented with his card before Saturday's event, the words 'needs cut - please!' were written across it!

Whoever's was the insight, it was bang on, as Terry produced his best round of the year to record a superb nett 61 to win the coveted prize.

Four over after nine holes, Terry was to use up just a further three shots of his handicap on the homeward trek to take the honours. And it needed to be that good as ten handicapper Gerry McCreesh was breathing down his neck, finishing with a similar nett 61 and only conceding on countback.

The 'young ones' led the category prizes - John Maguire (4) and Jarlath McReynolds (4) both recording nett 64 scores and also needing to be separated on countback.

A Sunday winner the previous week, Stephen Weir was back among the winners to claim Category 2's first prize with a nett 64, and Michael Curley made a return to winning form with a nett 65 to claim the runners up prize.

In Category 3 Greg McKenzie's nett 66 earned him first prize and no doubt it was his birdie start at the first hole which set him up for that win. Winston Gordon was just a point behind with a nett 67.

Ronan adds President's Prize to his growing collection

Ronan O'Reilly's recent rich vein of form culminated in winning the prestigious County Armagh Golf Club President's Day prize.

The 10-handicapper has featured more than most in the prizes during the past month and deservedly added to his collection President PJ Collin's special award. His 43 points proved unasailable in the stableford competition which took place in ideal conditions.

More than 200 club golfers took to the course on the day, all hoping to capture the coveted prize and just a point was to separate the top three finishers.

Ronan however, was to emerge top scorer, his 22 points over the front nine holes and a further 21 on the return trek confirming him as the eventual winner.

Bogeys at the par four sixth hole and par three seventh were his only mistakes on the outward journey and he recovered those with a birdie four at the eighth hole. Another bogey at the 10th hole wasn't the best start to the back nine with another at the par three 13th. But he never looked back after that with five consecutive pars racking up the score.

Kyle Johnston, another improving player of recent weeks, was Ronan's nearest rival, his 42 points earning him a runners up prize. And the 12-handicapper will undoubtedly rue the double bogey six at the fourth hole which reduced his front nine score to 19points. With 23 points on the back nine, he could have been forgiven for believing he might have done just enough to win it.

Kyle Wilson led the category prizes with a similar 42 points, and will be equally disappointed not have to lifted the President's prize with just 17 points from the back nine holes to add to a magnificent 24 points scored over the front nine holes.

In Category 2 Terry Hamilton collected the the prize with another 42 points, 20 and 22 points respectively scored over front and back nine holes by the 17-handicapper. And in Category 3, Brian Liddy (19) was declared the winner with 38 points.

Past President Dougie Somerville was the deserved winner of the Past Presidents and Captains Prize with an excellent 42 points, 21 and 21 points front and back securing him the win. And Kevin Ward picked up the Council and Committee Members' Prize with 41 points.

The best Gross on the day was returned by Conor McGurgan, playing off a handicap of two.

President PJ Collins also had prizes for the top ladies who played earlier in the week and after countback involving three finisihers on 39 points, it was Emma Oliver who emerged victorious ahead of Orla Fox and Hilary Johnston.
