Along with Captain's Day, President's Day and the Lonsdale Cup, the Gerry Lenagh Open is regarded by many traditionalists as one of County Armagh Golf Club's ‘Majors'. And on 11 August, 183 hopefuls hit the fairways in a quest for glory in the annual tournament sponsored by Morgan McLernon Transport Distribution.

No one, however, could match Garrett O'Reilly, who returned a sparkling score of 45 points to get his hands on the historic and much-coveted Gerry Lenagh Memorial Cup. Garrett's red-letter day had begun in earnest with a birdie at the 2nd, before three pars and another birdie at the 6th meant he reached the turn at just two over par.

On the way home, the minor stutter of three-putt bogeys at both the 11th and 13th was undauntedly consigned to virtual irrelevancy by back-to-back pars at the 14th and 15th, and then a perfectly-timed birdie at the penultimate hole that ultimately sealed a maiden ‘Major' title for Dundalk's favourite blow-in. O'Reilly's career-best gross 76 contained no double bogeys and effected a 15-to-13 handicap cut that will be nearly as satisfying as his capture of the beautiful and storied silverware.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Colm Shannon, presents the Gerry Lenagh Memorial Cup to Garrett O'Reilly, winner of the Open Stableford competition sponsored by Morgan McLernon Transport Distribution. Also pictured are other prizewinners (L-R): Adam Cromwell, Gareth Reilly, Shea Smyth, Tim Teahan and Joe Rooney.

The vast majority of members at County Armagh Golf Club would bite your hand off to shoot a gross 68 once in a lifetime. Stewart Stevenson, however, was unwilling to settle for that even as the high point of a single playing weekend because, after posting that awesome number in the Open competition on 4 August, he went lower again 24 hours later. Golfing gluttony is a terrible vice.

In the Club Stableford event on 5 August, Stevenson responded to an opening bogey by firing birdies at the 2nd, 6th, 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th and dropping only one further shot. The winning Sunday scorecard showed a three-under par front nine and a one-under-par homeward trek, as Stewart dismissed the challenge posed by the city course in a measly 66 strokes. This was a stunning two-day showing from the silver-haired two-handicapper.

Stewart's accruing 42 points left him two clear of the overall runner-up, Michael Calvert, who amassed four birdies of his own including an incredible hat-trick of front-nine 2's. Calvert has had his handicap pruned to 12 on account of his excellent and eventful gross 79 but is likely still regretting his costly decision not to enter that day's 2's club!

The 9th was just one of six holes that Stewart Stevenson birdied on his way to a majestic gross 66 on 5 August.

The Open Stroke competition that kicked off County Armagh Golf Club's Open Week on 4 August was sponsored by Daly Motor Spares, and Declan McReynolds's golfing engine was purring as he cruised to a superb winning score of nett 64.

Declan had served notice to his fellow competitors that he was a man in form with a nett 67 that clinched category 1 victory in the previous weekend's July Medal. This time out, he reached the halfway point through a composed front nine of five pars and four bogeys. Even better would follow immediately thereafter, as birdies at the 11th and 12th were buffered on either side by momentum-maintaining pars at the 10th and 13th.

A slightly ragged 6, 5 climax came after two more pars at the 15th and 16th, but it all amounted to a marvellous six-over-par outing that granted McReynolds Snr a new handicap of 11 as well as tournament glory.

Peter Daly of Daly Motor Spares, sponsors of the Open Stroke event at County Armagh Golf Club, presents the winner, Declan McReynolds, with his prize. Also pictured are Club Captain, Colm Shannon, and fourth-placed Paul Pender.

The three slots immediately below Declan on the Saturday leaderboard were filled respectively by the alliterative triumvirate of Ciaran Conroy, Stewart Stevenson and Paul Pender.
