Monday 18 th September 2017.

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. In a break from tradition this year, past Lady Captain, Una Cullinane, opted to run a team “classic” with a shotgun start. The new format proved to be a tremendous success as competitors were able to enjoy a tasty barbeque, prepared by Seven Hills, before the prizegiving.

Past Lady Captain Una Cullinane was delighted with the turnout of 19 teams who took part in the competition. Una thanked past captains 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. The goody bags were generously sponsored by Eileen Stewart of Armagh Business Centre and James Hewitt of Hewitt Meats.

Una added that the course was in tremendous condition despite the heavy downpours of the previous week and 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.

The overall winning score of 101 points was recorded by Una's own team, while prizes were also awarded for best men's, ladies 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.

With the course having taken such a battering from the seemingly incessant rain of recent weeks and yielding such little run as a consequence, good scores at County Armagh Golf Club are very hard-earned these days.

In such conditions, it's especially advantageous to possess the sort of animalistic hitting power that Thomas Murray has in his armoury, and indeed this proved to be the case as he took the top honours in a Club Stableford event on Saturday 16 September.

To focus solely on Murray's capacity for enormous distance would do a disservice to a deft short game that was also very much in evidence during this fantastic two-over-par outing. Thomas notched birdies at the 2nd, 7th, 10th and, most satisfyingly, the 18th, which arrested a potentially costly slide of three consecutive bogeys from the 15th to 17th. As it was, Murray's peerless 42-point return sealed a comfortable competition victory and a deserved eight-to-seven handicap reduction.

The 6th at County Armagh: an easy hole on paper; a little more tricky on grass.

Trailing Thomas by three points and occupying the Saturday runner-up berth was Ian Millar. This 11-handicapper often reserves his best golf for the weekly Wednesday Opens, but a splendid 39-point round comprising 10 pars and eight bogeys showed that he can produce the goods on any day of the week.

Having been regular playing partners for many a year, Francis Curley and Aidan McParland stuck together once again as first Francis and then Aidan secured top honours on consecutive Sundays at County Armagh Golf Club.

Curley last tasted success four months ago when he lifted the PGA Tankard by virtue of a nett 65. This time, an excellent nett 67 saw him head the standings in a Club Stroke event on 3 September that was kindly sponsored by Fairlawns Residential Home.

Unlike in that Tankard triumph back in May which was made possible by a remarkable recovery from a listless start, Francis performed adroitly right from the off in parring each of the opening four holes. A wobbly patch ensued as the 12-handiapper surrendered four shots to the course between the 5th and 7th. However, a more than decent ratio of seven pars from his remaining 11 holes banished the memory of that blip and set up Curley's deserved win.

Francis Curley, winner of the Fairlawns Residential-sponsored stroke competition at County Armagh Golf Club is presented with his prize by Claire Cassidy, manager at Fairlawns Residential. Also pictured are Club Captain, Richard Stewart, and other prizewinners (L-R) Shea Smyth, Brian McGuigan and Eamon O'Hagan.

This week's Fun Stableford competition was sponsored by FAB Beauty Salon. Lady Captain Gail thanked Eimear, who unfortunately couldn't attend the prizegiving for her generous support for the Ladies Branch. The “fun” element was the requirement to use only 3 clubs during the competition. In addition to this challenge the weather and conditions under foot added considerably to the task in hand. However, despite all these obstacles Mary Black emerged as the worthy winner with an impressive score of 37 points. Ellen Brady took second place with 35 points just ahead of Donna Carolan in third place with 33 points.
