Exactly three weeks after Paul Doyle landed the Sunday spoils at County Armagh Golf Club, son Caolan followed in his old man's footsteps with a three-over-par masterclass that prevailed in the club stableford tournament on 2 July.

In the event sponsored by Whittles Spar Supermarket, Caolan stormed round the front-nine aisles to reach the turn with 20 points in his stableford trolley, before eventually arriving at the 18-hole checkout with a massive 42-point salvo. The resultant first prize was a not so unexpected item in Doyle's bagging area.

Playing off nine at the start of proceedings, Caolan bogeyed the 1st before embarking on a run of five pars in a row that was halted only by a birdie at the 7th.

This high was followed by his only true blunder of the day — a double bogey at the 8th — but, completely unperturbed, Doyle the younger proceeded to record seven pars and a birdie in his next eight holes before ending with a pair of fives for a fantastic gross 73.

County Armagh's most difficult par 3? The 9th, Plateau.

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).

Hewitt Meats were again the loyal sponsors of the Ellie Mayne Cup. Mrs Ellie Mayne presented the cup to the ladies' branch in 1966 and her golf clubs adorn the walls of the clubhouse.

The glorious weather conditions attracted a large field with 64 completing 18 holes, 10 playing 9 holes and a further 10 participating in the Get into Golf competition.

James Hewitt presented the prizes which had been beautifully arranged by Lily McMullan who had kindly included an additional two prizes for the Get into Golf ladies. Paula McCrory took third place with 38 points just behind Lily McMullan who beat her on a countback with 38 points. The overall winner was a very much in form June Humphries with 39 points. Presenting her with the top prize and the cup, James Hewitt remarked he was delighted to see that June was still showing the rest of the field how to perform. Both June and the Lady Captain Gail Steed thanked the sponsors most sincerely for their invaluable support and were delighted to be assured by James that he was very happy to support the Ladies branch and will continue to do so in the future.

Over another busy few weeks of inter-club action, various County Armagh Golf Club's teams have experienced all the highs and lows associated with matchplay golf.

The Sam Rutherford Memorial Cup saw Patrick Brannigan's charges triumph in fine style over Kilkeel to secure their passage to the competition's last eight.

Results in this event are determined by holes rather than points and, in the first leg played in Kilkeel on Sunday 25 June, the greensomes pairings of Stephen Catterall and John Lowe, Gary McCourt and Paul Corvan and Marty Oliver and Roy Turner led the way in providing County Armagh with a useful halfway platform of just one hole down.

County Armagh's Sam Rutherford side, who defeated Kilkeel to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.

A level-par round warrants victory in most competitions, and Stewart Stevenson's superb 70-stroke performance earned exactly that in the stableford event at County Armagh Golf Club on Sunday 25 June.

The three-handicapper's early endeavours meandered rather tamely, as bogeys at the 1st and 3rd and pars elsewhere left him two over par after seven holes. However, Stewart burst into life at that point, firing birdies at the 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th.

That majestic birdie blitz was checked only slightly by dropped shots at the 9th and 16th before the Senior Cup and Senior Cowdy stalwart closed with two serene pars to complete his 39-point prevailing tally.

Thread the needle: County Armagh's 5th hole, The Gap.
