Big-hitting leftie Kevin Smyth has made hay while the sun has shone at County Armagh Golf Club this summer, collecting a number of prizes and satisfyingly reducing his handicap all the while. The latest instance of both came on 19 August, when Kevin carded a glorious nett 63 to prevail in a stroke event and secure a new handicap of 19.

The ultimately victorious outing had begun in inauspicious fashion as Smyth emerged from The Gap eight over par after five holes. However, he didn't put a foot wrong thereafter, negotiating the remaining 13 challenges in an error-free seven pars and six bogeys. So, this was a tournament triumph borne of considerable bouncebackability in addition to the obvious golfing adroitness.

County Armagh Golf Club's 14th hole, Sequoias, held mixed fortunes for players in the stroke competition on 19 August.

Second to Kevin in the Sunday standings was young Jamie Calvert, who signed for an accomplished gross 76. Jamie recorded birdies at the 7th and 14th, while eight pars and eight bogeys elsewhere ensured a marvellous nett 64 that means he's now playing off 11.

County Armagh Golf Club have bowed out of the All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy after succumbing to defeat by Nuremore in the Ulster Final of the competition on Sunday 26 August.

The provincial decider took place at the neutral venue of Dungannon where, despite an encouraging start which saw County Armagh ahead in the first three matches through 10 holes, the Monaghan outfit ultimately showed greater patience and experience to turn their tie in their favour and secure a deserved victory.

County Armagh Golf Club's All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy team registered five inter-club wins before losing out to Nuremore in the Ulster Final at Dungannon.

County Armagh Golf Club's penultimate Medal of the 2018 campaign was contested on 18 August, when the leaderboard was headed by Andrew Conn. In this stroke event sponsored by Gerard Byrne Tyres Ltd, the eventual victor was very much on the right track throughout a blistering nett 64.

Andrew reached the Quarry at an acceptable three over par, before really hitting his straps in a middle section where he reeled off eight consecutive pars either side of the turn. That presented a tournament-winning opportunity with four holes remaining, and the nattily-trousered 11-handicapper grabbed it with both hands. Conn proceeded to close out his Saturday game with a brilliant birdie at the 17th amid three calming bogeys, which ultimately enabled him to register a tremendous gross 75 and deservedly capture the monthly silverware. 

County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Colm Shannon, and sponsor, Gerard Byrne from Gerard Byrne Tyres Ltd, are pictured with prizewinners in the August Medal (L-R): Shane O'Halloran, John Maguire, Kieran Donnelly and Rodney Villiers.

Runner-up to champion Conn was John Maguire, who fired an exceptional gross 67 that was unfortunate to be denied the top honours on a break of tie. Maguire's round was bookended by bogeys at the 1st and 18th, but he negotiated the intervening 16 holes in a scintillating five birdies and 11 pars.

County Armagh have qualified for the Ulster final of the All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy, with the one-off clash against Nuremore to take place at the neutral venue of Dungannon this Sunday 26 August at 2pm.

That appetising fixture was made possible by a tremendous semi-final triumph over Greenisland, the team's fifth opponents in an exhilarating run in this year's tournament.

Tim Teahan's men travelled to Greenisland for the first leg on Sunday 12 August when, on paper, they looked to be weakened by the absence of two of their talismanic pairings due to pre-booked family holidays. However, this squad has repeatedly shown its strength in depth and they turned in another resilient performance here, emerging from the tricky nine-hole course, where the home side was well backed by the many members who watched on, with 2½ of the 5 points on offer.

Having dispensed with Greenisland, County Armagh's All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy side will now play Nuremore in the Ulster Final of the competition.
