PGA Tankard win for Colm

COLM McElroy’s 40 points was enough to win the County Armagh Golf Club PGA Tankard.

In the Armagh Potato Company Ltd sponsored stableford competition, his was the best score – albeit equaled by the big-hitting Kenny Spence. But on a back-nine countback it was Colm who claimed victory.

Despite three one-pointers on his outward trek, Colm had penciled 18 points on his card at the turn. And with a four over par back nine securing a further 22 points, he was always going to be in with a shout, especially in the damp, heavy under-foot conditions.

Kenny Spence kicked his round of with a birdie three and with a further birdie 2 at the 7^th hole he had amassed a hugely impressive 25 points after nine holes.

However, two triple bogeys and a double bogey saw him add just a further 15 points from the other six holes to equal Colm’s 40 points and concede outright victory on countback.

Ronan O’Reilly led home the low handicappers with 39 points winning the category prize – a birdie at the par four 17^th hole the highlight of a steady round. Tom Fox was runner up in the same category his ‘ding’ at the 12^th hole ultimately costing him first prize when he returned a total 39 points to equal Ronan’s

Ronan McWilliams produced a steady round to score 39 points for the mid-handicap category – a birdie 2 at the 11^th penciled on his card also. And Danny Magee may have been two points further a drift but his 37 was enough to take the runners up prize on the day.

Eric Hamilton won the high handicap category with 38 points with  newcomer Lee Kirane runner up with 35 points.

Colm McElory is presented with his prize by Andrew Johnston from Armagh Potato Company Ltd, sponsors of the PGA Tankard competition at County Armagh. Included also is Club Captain Richard Black and category winners Danny Magee, Lee Kirane, Stewart Stevenson and Ronan O’Reilly.
