Past Captain John lifts Mayne Cup

PAST Captain of County Armagh John Flack finally got his game into prize-winning shape after a busy year in office.

It may have taken most of the season to do so, but victory in the Captain Arthur Mayne Cup competition was very welcome indeed - if not a surprise, as he admitted at the trophy presentation on Saturday evening.

John's 36 points in the stableford event for the club's over 65's was the best on the day.

Brian Hughes claimed the runners up prize with 35 points.

Gerry celebrates cup win

GERRY Kelly celebrated victory in the Half Century Cup competition at County Armagh.

The affable Gerry was the popular winner with 40 points in the stableford event for the club's over 50's and was presented with the coveted trophy by Club Captain Pat McAleavey.

It was two better than all the rest - consistent scoring front and back nines securing 20 points on each for that top score.

Noel Loye was runner up with 38 points - secured with 16 points from the front nine holes and an impressive 22 from the inward trek.

And Brian Cleland claimed third prize with 37 points which might have been even more impressive had he not failed to score at the 10th hole.

• Determined Brian lifts Lenagh trophy
• HAVING missed out by the narrowest of margins on winning the Gerry Lenagh Memorial Trophy last year, Brian McGuigan was determined to go that one step further this time around to secure the magnificent piece of silverware.
• And by returning 42 points in the Morgan, McLernon Transport Distribution sponsored stableford competition he did just that!
• Ironically the eventual outcome was decided on count back - as it was last year - but on this occasion it favoured the retired firefighter. Marc Elliott was the 'unfortunate' runner up, having signed for a similar 42 points on the day.
• Bogeys at the first and third holes got 9-handicapper Brian's round off to an unsteady start. But he quickly settled into a a 'par' routine and with a birdie 2 to complete his front nine, had penciled in 21 points by the turn.
• That steady scoring continued on the back nine and with further birdies at the 14th and 17th holes a similar 21 points was registered for that top score of 42 points.
• Ten handicapper Marc Elliott stroked birdie 2s at the 7th and 9th holes as he chalked up 22 points on his outward trek, and added a further 20 points on his was back for his 42 points total. Unfortunately on count back he was to lose out to Brian and had to settle for the runner's up prize.
• PJ Quinn, a further point adrift on 41 points and claiming third prize, was one of four players to return the same score on the day. But again count back was called upon to decide the outcome with  Brian Loney claiming fourth, Johnny Brown fifth and Colin Woods who disappointingly failed to score at the 17th hole, taking sixth.
• And the final prize went to Winston Gordon on 40 points - back-nine birdies at the 11th and 14th holes the highlight of his round. 
• Best Gross scores on the day were returned by Philip Kelly and Neill Cromwell each returning 36 points.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Pat McAleavey presents Brian McGuigan with the Gerry Lenagh Memorial Trophy in the company of the stableford competition runners up Johnny Brown, Neil Cromwell and Winston Gordon.

Paul masters blustery conditions

BLUSTERY winds failed to deny Paul Pender victory in last Sunday's club stableford competition at County Armagh.

The County Minors captain produced the top score - 40 points - as all around him golfers struggled with some of the most difficult winds of the season.

Some very steady scoring saw the 14 handicapper chalk up an impressive 22 points on the front nine. And he maintained that steady form to return a further 18 on the back nine which might have been even better had he not failed to score at the 12th hole.

However, it was still two points better than all the rest. Andrew Millar was the nearest challenger with 38 points returned with a 2-under par round off his handicap of 2.

Michael Carson also returned 38 points but had to settle for third prize after count back - an unfortunate 'no-score' at the 18th hole proving costly.

Gary collects August Medal

GARY Lappin captured the penultimate club medal of the season at County Armagh with a hugely impressive nett 64.

It may have taken count back to eventually decide the outcome of the August competition, but the result saw breadman Gary take the honours ahead of Kieran Murray who also returned a nett 64.

Both however, will almost certainly have booked their places in the Club Championship competition which will be played over forthcoming, consecutive week-ends in September. And no doubt Gary will have his sights set on that prize also having narrowly missed out on winning it in 2012.

He got his August Medal round off to a double bogey start but recovered magnificently to drop only one further shot at the 9th hole before completing a four over par back nine for that nett 64 off his 13 handicap.

Kieran Murray, a ten handicapper, dropped only a single shot on his outward trek and a further three on the way home for his nett 64 - losing out narrowly to Gary on countback.

Philip Kelly was the top performer among the low handicappers with a nett 65 earning him first prize in Category 1- an eagle 3 at the 12th hole and a birdie 3 at the 16 the highlight of his round. And Paddy Hicks was runner up collecting also from from the 2's pot with a birdie at the 7th hole.

Art McCrory recorded three birdies on his way to a nett 66 finish and first prize in Categgry 2 where Paddy McElmeel was runner up with a nett 67.

John George Willis will undoubtedly have attracted the attention of the handicap convenor with a nett 65 to claim the first prize in Category 3 - a massive 4 shots ahead of the rest of the field which was led home by Gareth Frizzell on nett 69.

A three-under par round earned John Maguire the Best Gross prize on teh day.
