The difficulty of getting a winning score over the line at county Armagh Golf Club is often remarked upon, and justifiably so given the course's particularly testing closing stretch. However, Adam Hunniford made a mockery of that cliché as he romped down the home straight to prevail in the Sunday Stableford on 9 July.

Having recorded eight pars and five bogeys in his opening 13 holes of the McAnenly Transport-sponsored event, Hunniford will likely have stepped onto the 14th tee hoping for a reasonably solid showing over the last five to complete a satisfactory morning's graft at the competitive chalkface.

But the nine-handicapper produced rather more than that by proceeding to complete those remaining five holes in one under par. He posted a four at Sequoias before birdieing the 15th and, in an admirable display of composure under pressure, parring the 16th, 17th and 18th for a superb gross 74 that sealed a merited maiden victory of the season.

That bountiful late points grab was decisive too, because Paul Pender also finished strongly to match the 41-point Hunniford haul but ultimately had to settle for second place on a back-nine break of tie. Pender had already turned in a string of impressive and prizewinning performances in 2017, and this was just another.

The Henry and May White Memorial Open kicked off the July schedule at County Armagh Golf Club and saw Desmond Kinsella roar to victory with a tremendous nett 65.

In the Philip White Tyres-sponsored stroke competition held on the first day of the month, Kinsella's round was bookended by double bogeys at the first and last holes.

Happily for the now 13-handicapper, however, those scrappy sixes were entirely out of keeping with the rest of his play in an excellent 79-stroke showing containing just four dropped shots elsewhere.

Consecutive pars at the 5th, 6th and 7th helped Desmond to a dominant halfway position of three under his handicap, but even better would follow on the back nine.

Seven pars on the spin between the 11th and 17th spoke to a man inspired rather than daunted by the prospect of glory and, indeed, it was this hot streak that guided Kinsella to his first piece of silverware since making a welcome return to the club after a spell in Rossmore.

Desmond Kinsella is presented with the Henry and May White Memorial Open Trophy by Philip White, proprietor of Philip White Tyres Ltd, sponsors of the annual competition at County Armagh Golf Club. Also pictured are Club Captain Richard Stewart and other prize winners (L-R) Conor McAneney (4th overall), Stewart Stevenson (1st gross), David Grimley (3rd overall), James Johnston (2nd gross) and Johnny Brown (5th overall).
