Four-star Andy better than all the rest

KILLYLEA golfer Andy Millar reckons he could have broken the course record in the recent County Armagh Golf Club stableford.

The 5-handicapper shot a nett 61 for 45 stableford points in the Sunday competition- a massive four points better than the rest of the field.

He was certainly right on course for a record score after nine holes when he stood six under par with birdies at the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th holes with 28 points secured. Across the back nine holes he added a further 18 points to his tally for a total 45 points, dropping only two shots on that inward trek.

Another Andy, Andy Conn, was the closest anyone came to the Millar man, but even his impressive 41 points looked poor in comparison.

John Lowe's 41 points secured him first prize in the low handicap category with Nigel McMahon in runners up spot with 39 points.

Johnny Palmer won the mid handicap category with 37 points ahead of Alan Magwood making a welcome return to the winners enclosure, taking second with 36points.

And Jim Carberry took the top prize in category 3 with 38 points - Aidan McParland in second with 37 points.

WINNING President's Day once in a lifetime is an achievement which most club golfers would be content with. Ronan O'Reilly however, is now among the elite band to have achieved it twice at County Armagh Golf Club!

He lifted President Jack Moore's prize on Saturday last to compliment the same first prize he won two year's ago on President PJ Collins big day.

"I was lucky enough to win PJ's prize, but this was a real suprise. I certainly didn't expect to win it," admitted Ronan, modestly.

"I shot my best ever gross score - 73 to win it two years ago and I shot my best ever gross since then - a 72 to win it this time around."

That gross 72 earned nine-handicapper Ronan 43 stableford points in Jack Moore's competition which spanned two days. "Sixteen pars and two bogeys at the 6th and 17th holes, pretty boring golf," suggested Ronan.

Stableford win for Brian

BRIAN Loney's recent 'Sunday stroll' developed into a stableford victory at County Armagh.

The laid-back Killylea man took first prize in the club competition with an impressive 40points.  Birdie 2s at the 3rd and 7th holes secured him 23 points by the turn. And with much of the hard work done he needed only a further 17 points for the honours.

His Killylea neighbour Andrew Millar was just a point behind on 39, secured with 19 and 20 respectively front and back nine.

And Stewart Stevenson weighed in for third prize with 39 points also, losing out in to Andrew on countback.
