Tommy's becoming a Sunday specialist

MISSING out on the top prize in the previous Sunday stableford by the narrowest of margins, Tommy Mackin was to go one better to win the very next week.

14-handicapper Tommy returned an untouchable 40points to claim the prize. He produced steady golf on the outward trek to chalk up 19 points by the turn. And with a three over par back nine, added a further 21 points for that winning score.

Barry Scully, even with a birdie to finish his round, just couldn't quite catch Tommy. His 39 points for runners up however, might have been a winning score had he not had a 'no score' at the 15th.

Alan Pedlow led home the category winners with 39 points with Andrew Dunwoody runner up in Category 1 with 38 points.

Tom Fox returned a similar 38 points to win Category 2, just beating on countback another 38 points scorer in Kenny Spence.

And Tom Donnelly's 38 points was two better than Henry Lyttle's 36 in Category 3.

Steady Shea is stableford winner

SHEA Smyth produced the steadiest of rounds to win the County Armagh Sunday stableford competition by two clear points.

The six-handicapper returned an impressive 41 points to win the event with the club's competition's convenor David Baird runner up on 39 points. 

With birdies at the 3rd and 8th holes to accompany seven pars, Shea had amassed 23 points by the half way stage. And despite dropping four shots across the back nine holes, a further 18 points ensured he was uncatchable.

A bogey seven at the 8th hole almost certainly cost David Baird the top prize, although with 39 points he was well satisfied with the runners up prize.

Noel Loye returned the same 39 points but a 'no score' at the 15th hole proved costly. He still topped the Category One prize winner's list where Philip Kelly picked up runners up with 38 points.

Brendan McKinney took the Category 2 first prize with 38 points, winning on countback from Mark Gillen.

And Michael Smyth deservedly claimed the Category 3 prize with 39 points - a massive four points better than his nearest challenger - a very surprised Jim Carberry, on 35 points.

Shea Smyth, winner of the recent Sunday Stableford competition at County Armagh is presented with his prize by Club Captain Pat McAleavey, in the company of runners up Philip Kelly, David Baird and Jim Carberry.

Tim Takes winning to a new level

TIM Teehan's nett 63 score in the A&N Shilliday sponsored stroke competition at County Armagh spolied the day for a raft of players who returned mid-sixty nett scores on the day.

The 20-handicapper's late return was two shots better than all the rest. F Smyth was a deserved runner up with nett 65, which might have been a whole lot better had he not dropped five shots over the closing four holes.

Nathan Griimley in contrast, produced a one under par back nine from five over at the turn, to take the Category One prize - birdies at the 6th and 17th highlighted his round.  Brian McGurgan included a birdie three at the 14th hole in his round for a nett 66 and runners up prize in the category.

A two-over par back nine for a nett 66 finish after a seven over par front nine which included double bogeys at the 6th and 8th holes, secured first prize for Richard Stewart in Category 2. It was one shot better than Johnny Palmer in runners up spot with a nett 67.

And Anthony Fagan's nett 66 earned him the Category 3 top prize with Brian McCleland runner up with a nett 68.

The A&N Shilliday sponsored stroke competition at County Armagh was won by Tim Teehan who is presented with his prize by Club Captain Pat McAleavey. Included are runners up (back from left), Brian Cleland, Francis Smyth, Jarlath McReynolds, Johnny Palmer and (front right) Anthony Fagan.

IRISH traditional musician Marty Daly had a winning tune to his game as he triumphed in the Lonsdale Cup Open competition at County Armagh.

His nett 65 score was the perfect manuscript to lift the coveted trophy in the annual event, sponsored this year by Armagh City Hotel.

Playing off a handicap of 11, Marty, who is also the club's entertainments convenor, got his winning round off to a steady start before he dropped his first shot at the 4th hole. A double bogey at the 6th hole and a further dropped shot at the 9th were however, the only other sour notes on his front nine.

But he found the perfect rhythm on the final set with a double bogey at the 16th hole the only blemish on the remaining manuscript for a winning 65 nett.

Gary Livingstone, off a handicap of 17, paraded in behind Marty with a tuneful 66 nett for the runners up prize. Derek McKeever beat a steady drum to to third prize with a nett 67, his better back nine a winning beat better than Nial McGeown's 67.

Student Niall Brady meanwhile, was calling the tune among the low handicappers on the day - off a handicap of five, his one under par back nine and nett 68 deservedly earned him fifth prize. Rodney Villiers, signing for a similar nett 68 lost out to the young golfer on countback.

And the final note to the prize winners list was provided by Gary O' Reilly, returning also a nett 68.
