Among the final pieces of silverware on offer from County Armagh Golf Club's 2018 fixture list were the Half Century Cup and Arthur Mayne Cup, both of which were contested on 9 September.
County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Colm Shannon, presents the Arthur Mayne Cup to Danny McGee, winner of the annual stableford competition. Looking on is runner-up, Tim Teahan.
As its title might suggest, the Half Century Cup is competed for by those whose 50th birthday has been and gone, and emerging victorious from this experienced coterie was Jerome Leer with a massive 42-point salvo.
Leer is the very personification of the old ‘good touch for a big man' adage, and he demonstrated that in spades once more with an incredible four outward birdies and then eight consecutive pars to finish. That all added up to an outstanding sub-par gross 69 that rendered Jerome a more than deserving recipient of the trophy.
John Lavery has probably never been referred to as ‘a big man' but his Sunday points haul was certainly a substantial one. Lavery ended just two points shy of Leer and in the silver medal position on account of a classy gross 77 that contained a birdie at the 4th and 10 pleasing pars elsewhere.
Johnny Brown also negotiated the Cathedral City course in 77 blows and clinched third prize. Brown's best play came during a terrific two-over-par first nine, and he eventually declared on a 39-point total that clips his handicap to single figures.
The over-65s did battle for the Arthur Mayne Cup, and prevailing among this hotbed of venerability was Danny McGee. The 14-handicapper's fine 35-point effort included three instances of back-to-back pars, and only a no-score on the penultimate hole prevented a more convincing winning tally.

A sensational nett 62 catapulted Gary McDonald to victory in a County Armagh Golf Club stroke competition on 8 September.
A birdie at the 9th saw Gary, then playing off 14, reach the halfway juncture in a mere 38 strokes — an outward tally that was all the more impressive given that it incorporated an anomalous treble bogey on the consistently problematic 6th hole.
However, there were no such missteps on an even more accomplished back nine that featured a Sequoias birdie in the middle of McDonald's McFlurry of five pars and three bogeys.
The resultant gross 76 ensured that Gary couldn't be dislodged from the leaderboard summit in the tournament sponsored by Fairlawns Residential Home, and a two-shot handicap reduction represented the icing on his Saturday golfing cake.
Gary McDonald, winner of the Fairlawns Residential Home stroke competition, is presented with his prize by sponsor, Michael Murphy. Also pictured are County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Colm Shannon, and other prizewinners (L-R): Norman Mallon, Michael Crozier, David Leeman, John Lowe, Denis Hughes and Paul Pender.
Two shots adrift of the winner was John Lowe, who carded a nett 64. J-Lo was far from bringing up the rear as that magnificent total confirmed his occupancy in the overall runner-up berth. Lowe's gross 77 contained a hefty haul of 13 pars, and only double bogeys at the neighbouring 7th and 16th holes undermined his tilt at the top prize.

Monday 17 th September 2018.
The end of the golfing season for the Ladies of County Armagh Golf Club has been traditionally marked by the Past Lady Captain's competition. This year, past Lady Captain, Gail Steed, opted to run a modified 4 Ball team “classic” with a shotgun start, as this format had proved very popular when Una Cullinane used it last year
Past Lady Captain Gail Steed was delighted with the turnout of 19 teams who took part in the competition. Gail thanked last year's Captain Richard Stewart and past Lady Captains Una Cullinane, Audrey Kellet, Flo McCall and Barbara Hamilton who had done so much to help organise and run the classic. She also expressed her appreciation of the support which had been given by the Men's Branch and thanked Paula McCrory for doing the cards. The water bottles for the goody bags were generously sponsored by Eileen Stewart of Armagh Business Centre.
Gail added that the course was in tremendous condition despite the necessary autumn treatment of the greens. While many complained about difficulty finding the pace on the greens, this was not reflected in the scores of the winning teams.
Winners from Past Lady Captains’ and Past Captains’ Classic Fourball Competition.
As most of the teams playing comprised of Ladies two prizes were awarded to them along with one for the best men's and mixed teams. In addition, prizes for longest drives and closest to the pins were provided, as well as some spot raffle prizes, thanks to the generosity of the past Lady Captains.
