After his remarkable 12-par salvo paved the way to Sunday Stableford triumph at County Armagh Golf Club, it's clear that Greens Convenor Davy Baird has our beautiful course set up just to his liking.

In the competition sponsored by King Bros Quarry on 4 June, Davy completed his outward nine in just 37 strokes to reach the turn with a more than useful 22 points.

A double bogey on the par 3 11th was unwelcome, but Baird betrayed no signs that this was the start of a rot and immediately embarked on an outstanding run of six pars and a bogey for his final seven holes.

A tireless worker for the club over many years, few will begrudge Davy this win . His fine gross 77 on a day of high winds and nasty showers equated to 42 points that, as well as handing the former Club Captain tournament glory, snipped his handicap to 12.

Davy Baird is presented with his winner's prize by Robert King of Kings Bros Quarry. Also pictured are Club Captain Richard Stewart, overall runner-up Lee Kirrane with his son Luke, and category prize winners Jim Carberry, Ian Millar, John Maguire and Dermot O'Neill.

There was a certain appropriateness in the Bankers' Cup being carried off by another financial professional, Paul Pender.

In the stroke competition played at County Armagh Golf Club on 3 June, the Monaghan Mushrooms accountant turned in a quite masterly display that rendered his 181 opponents bankrupt of ideas and enabled lodgement of the sparkling trophy in Pender's 2017 golfing account.

A tally of six over par for the course's five par 3s didn't provide an obvious foundation on which to build a career best gross 75 but, happily for Paul, his short-hole troubles were entirely incongruous with the rest of this tremendous Saturday showing.

If there was a league table ranking families on the basis of accolades accrued at County Armagh Golf Club this season, the Grimley clan would surely have already built an insurmountable lead at its summit.

With brothers Kieran, David and Bernard already knee-deep in honours over recent months — even going toe-to-toe with one another for prizes on occasion — Martin added to the deadly quartet's plentiful 2017 plunder by securing victory in the Sunday stableford competition  on 28 June .

Starting the day playing off a handicap of 16, Martin posted pars at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 8th before a double bogey at the often troublesome 9th checked his progress slightly.

Nevertheless, that six-over-par front nine provided the All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy stalwart with a useful platform from which to launch a potentially tournament-triumphing assault on the back nine.

County Armagh's penultimate par 3: the 11th, Shambles.

Despite a hectic current schedule that sees his weeknights filled with meetings, his weekends spent following the club's teams the length and breadth of the Province and almost every other waking moment consumed with other club duties, notably preparations for his big day  on 24 June, Captain Richard Stewart still managed to squeeze in competition glory at County Armagh Golf Club.

In the Open Stroke sponsored by Hillview Lodge Driving Range on Saturday 27 May, Richard produced a career best gross 77 to seal victory by a single stroke from the red-hot Christopher Lester.

Six outward pars enabled Stewart to reach the turn in 37 blows before he went into overdrive early in his back nine.

Birdie fours at the 10th and 12th mingled agreeably with pars at the 11th, 13th and 14th as the then 14-handicapper found himself just one over par with four holes remaining.

It's entirely understandable for anyone to become a tad edgy at such a highly promising juncture and, indeed, Richard somewhat stumbled over the finish line.

However, El Capitano wouldn't be denied a stunning nett 63, which was even more impressive considering the blustery and showery conditions with which he had to cope. His red-letter day means a handicap snip to 12 and ought to put an increased spring in his step for the further busy days and nights ahead.
