As County Armagh Golf Club finally begins to emerge from a brutal and seemingly never-ending winter, the first trophy on its 2018 fixture list has been awarded to Oliver Connell.
Oliver was a regular prizewinner in 2017 and it's been a case of, "Please, sir, I want some more", as he's hit the ground running again this term.
In the CP McNabb Trophy, which was played for on the weekend of 7-8 April, the big 16-handicapper triumphed by virtue of a marvellous 42-point performance; golf, glorious golf.
Having notched 19 points on his way out, Connell really turned on the style during a 39-shot back nine that included birdies at the 12th and 17th.
That yielded a massive homeward haul of 23 points, which meant that even a late Oliver twist — namely a treble bogey at the 18th — couldn't derail his Saturday success.
Oliver's Army: CP McNabb Trophy winner, Oliver Connell, is joined by proud daughter, Alicia, and son, Calum, who himself was a prizewinner in the Easter Open a week previously. Also pictured is Club Captain, Colm Shannon, who made the presentation.
Leading the chasing pack that Connell so artfully dodged was Adam Hunniford, who matched both the victor's 42-point total and, remarkably, his breakdown of 19 points on the front nine and 23 on the way in.

County Armagh Golf Club hosted its annual Easter Open competition on 31 March and 1 April, a weekend when bitterly cold conditions were in direct contrast to the red-hot scoring.
The most sizzling of these performances in the stableford event sponsored by Cyril Johnson & Co Ltd came from Stephen Miller, who plundered no fewer than 25 points on a two-over-par front nine, which he followed up with a further 21 on the homeward trek.
On a super Saturday showing in which Stephen birdied the 4th and carded only one double bogey, he eventually signed for a blistering 46 points to seal a comfortable three-point winning margin.
The Easter Open stableford competition at County Armagh Golf Club was won by Stephen Miller, who was presented with his prize by Club Captain, Colm Shannon. Also pictured are other prizewinners in the Cyril Johnston & Co Ltd-sponsored tournament: (L-R) Paul Donnelly, Stephen Nugent, John Vernon, Calum Connell and John Maguire.
Miller will hope to reproduce such heroics when the qualifying tournaments commence later this month, and his 19 handicap is likely to start plummeting from that point.

An unusually early start to County Armagh Golf Club's 2018 Ulster Cup campaign soon became a very satisfying one too, as the team booked its place in the competition’s first round proper.
The historic and prestigious GUI Ulster Cup, which is played in singles format, is open to golfers with a handicap over 10 and an age over 30.
With the tournament draw having pitted them against Greenisland in the preliminary phase, Marty Daly’s seven-man band pitched up on the shores of Belfast Lough for the first leg clash on Sunday 25 March.

The Chest, Heart and Stroke competition has long featured on County Armagh's annual fixture list, and the club maintained its well-established relationship with the local charity with a two-day stableford event on 24 and 25 March.
The long-overdue but most welcome appearance of some spring sunshine combined with the fact that players had the opportunity to compete on both Saturday and Sunday to produce much better overall scoring than had been the case in previous weeks.
However, no one could keep pace with Stephen Nugent, who posted a terrific 43 points to seal first place.
Stephen's success was built largely on an impressive front nine showing five pars and ultimately yielding a massive 24 points.
