County Armagh Golf Club was a hive of activity on 11 May as 197 golfers swarmed to the course to contest the Bumblebee Cup, which was once again kindly supported by the nearby Victoria Bar.

And the bee's knees in this stroke tournament was Rory Smyth, who had every reason to wax lyrical about a wonderful nett 65 that clinched him the Saturday silverware.

Smyth's mood may have been a tad waspish after an opening double bogey, but the then 16-handicapper was buzzing by the time a birdie at the 9th completed a front-nine recovery that saw him reach the turn in just 40 hits.

CAGC's most historic (and arguably most prestigious) piece of silverware will be contested ‪ on Saturday 1 June in a stroke event once again kindly sponsored by Armagh City Hotel.

The storied Lonsdale Cup's inaugural recipient was H.J. Daly in 1896 and – just 122 years later! – Ed Hughes was the deserving champion in 2018.

Who will be next to join the illustrious group (see below) to have their name etched on the famous old trophy?

This is usually a hectic time of year for County Armagh Golf Club on the inter-club matchplay front, and it's been no different in 2019 with several of the club's sides in recent action.

Perhaps most notably among those, the Senior Cowdy Cup panel sealed passage to the tournament's second round through a marvellous, if narrow, victory over Mourne.

CAGC's Rossmore Cup side will try to overturn their 3½ - ½ first round first leg deficit against Lurgan on 2 June.

Michael Calvert's men welcomed their Newcastle opponents to the Cathedral City on Sunday 12 May and capitalised on home advantage in securing a useful 3-1 halfway lead.

The Hirsch Cup is one of County Armagh Golf Club's smallest trophies in physical terms. On Saturday 4 May, however, it yielded one of the biggest on-course performances of the 2019 season.

That belonged to Lee Stewart, whose immense gross 71 dispatched all comers and ensured he took rightful receipt of the diminutive Hirsch silverware.

In the competition once again kindly sponsored by Netstretch Limited, Lee recorded birdies at the 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th while piecing together the peerless nett 65 that also saw his handicap reduced from six to five.

Lee Stewart is presented with the Hirsch Cup by Cormac Knott of Netstretch Ltd, sponsors of the annual stroke competition at County Armagh Golf Club. Looking on are Club Captain, Kenny Edgar, and Adam Cromwell, who won category 1.

The final Saturday of April heralded the first qualifying event on County Armagh Golf Club's 2019 fixture list. And the swirling and stiff gusts ensured that playing conditions on the 27th are likely to be among the toughest experienced on the Cathedral City course all season.

Scoring by the 130 April Medal contenders, then, was understandably conservative. However, a happy anomaly came in the form of Chris Lester, who returned a magnificent nett 63 to claim the maiden monthly accolade of this campaign.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Kenny Edgar, is pictured with April Medal category 1 and 2 winners, Joe Rooney and Bernard Grimley.
