Philip's a stableford winner

PHILIP Kelly continued his recent run of good form winning the County Armagh Club stableford Sunday competition.

The 15-handicapper signed for a winning 42 points to take the top prize. A double bogey six at the first hole were two of just four shots he dropped over the front nine holes for 21 points. He dropped a further six shots on the back nine but still managed to add a similar 21 points for that winning total.

Six handicapper and runner up James Conlon, in contrast, got off to a flier with a birdie at the first and with some consistent scoring had racked up 21 points by the turn. And with a birdie at the tenth the story was much the same for his homeward trek for a finishing total 41 points.

Alan Pedlow was just a point behind on 40, scoring 20 and 20 points respectively front and back nines off his six handicap.

Ian Ritchie, among the prizes earlier in Open Week, was back on form at the weekend and with 39 points deseveredly claimed fourth prize.

Keady man Conlon Rice lost out on the back nine countback when he returned a similar 39 points and Neil Monaghan claimed the final prze with another 39points.

Juggernaut Mick lifts Gerry Lenagh Trophy

THE juggernaut character that is Mick Murphy was the popular winner of the Gerry Lenagh Trophy which climaxed the Open Week at County Armagh Golf Club.

The final open competition of the seven-day series was sponsored by Morgan McLernon Transport Division, and once again atttraced a huge field of golfers from across the province and as far away as Rathmore on the north coast.

But it was genial giant and Armagh clubman Murphy who earned the applause of a packed clubhouse when he was presented with the prestigious trophy by Declan Lenagh.

"I think it's well overdue," he joked with members as he collected the coveted silverware.

Blustery winds made for less than easy conditions but the prestine course could not be faulted in anyway for low scoring.

Certainly trophy winner Murphy took advantage and after a front nine holes from which he amassed a score of 18 points, he romped to victory by adding an impressive further 23 points, highlighted by a birdie three at the 15th hole.

Ten-handicapper Brian McGuigan warmed up for the World Police and Fire Games in which he will play this week, by taking the runners up prize. He too signed for 41 points - 20 and 21 points respectively front and back nines - but obvioulsy bowed to Mick's better score on the homeward trek.

Gerard O'Callaghan was next best on 40 points. A level par back nine which included a birde two at the 13th hole, produced 23 points to add to 17 he had secured on the front nine. His 40 points was infact one of four on the day. Jonathan Black's 21 points back-nine clinched fourth prize and he will almost certainly rue that 'no score' at the 4th hole. Davy Grimley was next on the prize-winners list with another 40 points and Paddy Loughran collected sixth.

Juvenile Stewart Hall signed for 39 points but could easily have been collecting the top prize and not seventh had he not failed to score at the 15th hole.

Stewart Stevenson once again produced the best gross score on the day, 36 points, just pipping young John Maguire who produced a similar 36 gross pts.

Pat lays down the law in Seniors

PAT Brannigan triumphed in the Open Seniors competition during County Armagh Golf Club Open Week.

The affable Pat returned 41 points to clinch the top prize in the stableford competition sponsored by Ian Dawson and Co. Solicitors.

A birdie two at the 9th hole saw Pat complete his outward trek with 20 points. And he was to go one better on the back nine to add a further 21 points for a winning total 41.

Two 'no score's' for runner up Colin Gamble at the 1st and 12 holes ultimately cost him. He was just a point behind Pat on 40 points, chalking up 19 on the front nine which included a birdie 2 at the 3rd hole, and 21 points on the back nine.

Roy Turner similarly will be disapointed at failing to score at the par 3 9th hole. His 39 points however, secured third prize.

Declan McReynolds was playing catch-up in the competition-winning takes with son Jarleth by carding 38 points to take fourth prize.

The fifth prize went to former Armagh man and BBC staff member Davy Lynas, a visitor from Ballyclare Golf club. He scored 38 points and but for a 'ding' at the last would have found himself much further up the prize winners list.

Bringing up the rear, Colin Wallace collected the final prize on the day with 37 points.
