Eamon lifts Gerry Lenagh Trophy
Eamon Mallon was the big winner in County Armagh Golf Club's Open Week, lifting the Gerry Lenagh Trophy.
The annual stableford competition was the climax of a thrilling series of mens', womens' and juvenille events and once again attracted one of the biggest fields of the year. Breezy conditions removed any chances of repeated record scoring seen earlier in the week. But it still took an exceptional score to win the coveted trophy presented by the Lenagh family.
Eamon's 42 points claimed the prize. 22 points accumulated over the front nine holes laid the foundations of what was to be a steady scoring round in which he added a further 20 points over the back nine holes.
It was just enough to edge it in front of a chasing pack of four players all returning 41 points and having to be separated on countback.
Barry McGurgan's 23 points back nine took the runners up prize, Brendan Powell's back nine 21 earned him third, Damien Grimley's no-score at 14 cost him dearly but his 21 points back nine still secured him fourth place, and Nigel McMahon claimed prize number five after a sizzling front nine 23 points and a further 18 recorded on the homeward trek. Ronan O'Reily continued his run of good form to take sixth with 40 points.
The Gross Stabelford competition was equally competitive and four-handicaper Neil Cromwell's level par round (36 points) deservedly claimed the honours, six-handicapper Conal Hamill second with 34points beating Conor McGurgan (2) also with 34 points, on countback.
Downpatrick Golf Club's Stephen McAneney won the Visitors Prize with 37 points.

A Senior moment for Captain Tom!
County Armagh Golf Club Captain Tom Calvert won the Open Week Seniors competition by what he readily admits himself was the narrowest of margins.
It was his 23 points racked up over the back nine holes to accompany 19 points over the front nine holes for a total 42 which ultimately won Tom the prize. Birdies at holes five, 13 and 14 where the highlight of his round.
But clipping at his heals were no less than four players also returning 42 points - Mick Murphy, Eugene Creelman, visitor Colin Wallace and Richard Black.

Double-take for season's best scores in Open Stroke
Two season best scores of nett 59 in County Armagh Golf Club's Open Week Stroke event had Competitions Convenor Davy Baird seeing double!
Thomas Clarke and Colm Shannon both returned the exceptional scores and had to be separated on countback.
14-handicapper Colm was first to sign for his superb nett 59 score and quite rightly must have been thinking his name was on that first prize. But amazingly he was to be disappointed when his son Mark broke the news of playing partner Thomas Clarke recording a nett 59 also.
Thomas, playing off an 11-handicap, was just one over par after nine holes, dropping shots at holes three and four before recovering one of those with a birdie two at the seventh hole. But after further dropping shots at ten and 11 he hit the birdie trail big time, recording over the final four holes.
Colm, in similar fashion, was just one shot over after nine holes, the perfect score blemished by a dropped shot at the first. A birdie two at the 13th hole compensated somewhat for a double bogey at the par three 11th hole, and in between dropped shots at 15 and 18 he birdied 17th for a two over par back nine. Unfortunately even his season's best to date just wasn't enough to win it.
Third prize, and on any other day a first prize winner, was claimed with a nett 63 score - that produced by Jerome Leer, a seven handicapper who dropped just two shots short of a perfect round.
Both John McKinney and Niall McGeown, fourth and fifth respectively, must surely also have fancied themselves for the big prize, with scores of nett 63 and 64. But it was a day for the big guns, Thomas and Colm deserved winners with exceptional scores.

John strikes Open gold
County Armagh Golf Club's Ulster Fourball Team Captain John Flack struck gold in the Open Stableford competition, returning a winning 44 points for his Open Week prize.
John, who is also the club's Sponsors' Convenor, soaked up the excellent weather and course conditions to produce a front nine 23 and back nine 21 points winning score.
Runner-up Ciaran Black was suprisingly two points ahead of John at the turn. And while his 19 points on the return trek saw him sign for 44 points also, he had to concede to John on countback.
The first of the Open Week Men's competitions attracted a large field and high scores were the order of the day throughout.
12-handicapper Caolan Doyle pitched in with and excellent 43 points to claim third prize - his back nine 25 points including birdies at 10 and 18.
And just a point behind was Simon Weir who produced the best back nine - 26 points - of the day in his 42 points which claimed fourth prize. No scores at the third and eighth holes undoubtedly cost him dearly.
Adam Ashforth's 24points from the back nine edged fifth prize in front of a host of players who also returned 42 points.
The Presentation of Prizes will take place on Saturday 13 August, all Prize winners are requested to attend.

Neil's late birdie wins Webster Cup
Neil Linton's birdie three at County Armagh's 18th hole ultimately secured him the Webster Cup in the Open Scratch competition.
The Killylea man shared the winning score Gross 74 with John Lavery but claimed the top prize in countback with that birdie three at the last.
Three dropped shots at the first, second and ninth holes were the only blemishes on Neil's card for the outward trek and that steady form continued on the homeward trek which he completed just one over par.
John Lavery was equally impressive, one over after nine but dropped three shots over the back nine to lose out to Neil.
Michael McGurk's Gross 76 secured him thrid prize.

Noel's late, late show

Ronan O'Reilly racked up 23 points over the front nine holes - back-to-back birdies at the par three third hole and par four fourth hole boosted his tally significantly. But he wasn't able to match that fine scoring on the return trek, recording 20 points for a total 43 points and third prize.
