Neil gets it right at second attempt

There was no repeat of the previous day's triple bogey start and finish to his round for Neil Monaghan who romped to first prize in Sunday's Club Stroke competition with a super nett 62.

He opened with a par and closed with a birdie three and with a level par back nine was always going to be one better than his runners up placing from Saturday.

Brain Loney chased him all the way and with a nett 63 could be forgiven for thinking he had it in the bag only to find out it wasn't enough.

Colm Shannon will rue so many dropped shots over the front nine - he was just two over the back nine - but with a nett 66 he still picked up third prize for his efforts.

Declan McKee's mixed bag earned him fourth prize with a nett 67 and it was his better back nine which pushed Paday Darragh with a nett 67 back into fifth place.

Hughes keeps on winning track

Even from the white competition markers, there seems no stopping Darren Hughes.

The 10-handicapper picked up first prize for a second consecutive week in Saturday's club stroke competition with a superb 64 nett score.

After an unsteady start with shots dropped at the first and second holes, Darren settled into some par scoring - although he did drop another shot at the difficult fifth hole. This was however, well recovered with a birdie four at the 10th and with just a further two shots dropped at 14 and 15 his consistency was to be deservedly rewarded with first prize.

Two triple bogeys at the first and last holes ultimately denied Neil Monaghan the winning score. After a lacklustre front nine Neil got it together for the back nine where he recorded consecutive birdies at the par three 11th and par five 12th holes. And with a sprinkiling of pars he finished with a nett 66 to claim the runners up prize.

In Category 1 Mark Loughran was the player in form winning with a nett 67. Just one over after nine holes, his back nine was to include an eagle three at the par five 12th hole, and but for dropped shots at the 11th, 15th, 17th and 18th holes it might have been Mark picking up the top prize. Barry McGurgan was runner up in this category with a nett 68, his round including a birdie at the 12th hole.

In Cateogry 2 Gareth Frizell claimed the prize with an impressive nett 66, birdies at the sixth and eighth holes pushing Eamon O'Hagan into runners up spot with a nett 67.

And in Category 3 it was Gary O'Reilly who picked up first prize with a nett 66, with Ian Ritchie runner up with an excellent nett 67.

Conor McGurgan won the Gross Prize with a superb 72.

Big scoring Brian's a winner

In any club stableford 46 points is an impressive winning score, but throw in a 'no-score' at a hole and there's no doubting it could have been even more impressive.  

Brian Loney returned that superb score in Sunday's club stableford with a winning round which included two birdie twos - at 11 and 13 - and a string of pars stretching into double figures. His 'no-score' was at the sixth hole but 46 points was always going to be enough to take the top prize.

Kenny Richardson's round was a virtual blueprint copy - ten pars, a 'no-score' at the 10th hole a birdie two at the third hole - but he still managed to amass 46 points and was beaten only by Brian's better back nine.

Consistent scoring at every hole to record 44 points desevedly secured third prize for Declan McKee. Basil Jolly, with 43 points, was denied a top three finish with a triple bogey at the last but will be delighted with fourth prize, while George Gillespie claimed a double share of the Twos Pot with birdies at the third and 13th holes boosting his fifth-place prize money.

County Armagh Golf Club Competitions Convenor Davy Baird celebrated a hole-in-one during Saturday's Club Stroke competition. His 8-iron shot to the par three 11th bounced just short of the pin before rolling up the sloping green to find the hole

Darren hits rich vein of form

Darren Hughes is fast emerging as the golfer in form at County Armagh as the season gets up and running.

After a category win last week with a nett 65 in the CP McNabb Trophy, he claimed the top prize in the week-end's Club Stroke competition with a superb nett 61.

Darren began his round with a dropped shot at the first hole but this was quickly recovered with a bridie three at the second, and after adding a further birdie three at the fifth hole, it was par golf all the way to the turn. That superb from continued on the homeward trek with par after par recorded until the difficult 16th where he dropped only his second shot of the day. And although he finished in the same way he began, with a dropped shot at the last, Darren's nett score 61 was always going to be untouchable.

Joe McKenna was his nearest rival and on any other day his nett 63 might have taken the top prize. He was just six over at the turn and with some consistent scoring and a birdie three at the 18th hole he was deserving indeed of his runners up prize.

G Hughes led the category prizewinners with a nett 65, a birdie three the highlight of his round and George Bradshaw was runner up in the same category with a nett 66. He had a birdie foour at the 10th hole.

In Category Two Pat J Toner rattled in birdies at the second and third holes on his way to a category winning nett 64, and Brian Loney claimed a double share of the Twos pot with bridies at the second and seventh holes as he returned a nett 64 also for the runners up prize.

Eamon Mallon's consistency throughout his round earned him the Category Three top prize with a nett 65 and Brian Liddy was his runner up with a nett 66.

Paul picks up first major trophy

Paul G Doyle claimed the first major silverware of the season at County Armagh after winning the CP McNabb Trophy with a superb nett 63.

Club Captain Tom Calvert will present the magnificent old trophy to Paul at Sunday evening's prize presentation in the clubhouse.

His winning round came on the first of the two-day competition when blustery conditions and the new lift, clean and drop rule made it somewhat more challenging for most. Opening with two pars and a birdie two at the third hole, Paul added a further birdie two at the seventh hole for a one over gross score after nine holes.

It got even better on the back nine with a further three birdies at the 10th, the 12th and the 17th, and with a gross 69 finish, a nett 63 was always going to be hard to beat.

Neill Linton certainly pushed him all the way but had to settle for second prize with a nett 64.

The low handicap category prize was won by Darren Hughes with some consistent scoring and a birdie three at the par four 14th. But Mark Loughran will rue a double bogey seven at the 12th hole after opening with birdies at the first and second holes and adding a further birdie two at the 11th. His nett 65 however, still earned him a prize.

A triple bogey seven at the last was the score which cost  Johnny Palmer whose nett 64, including birdies at the sixth, seventh and 11th holes, won him the Category 2 prize ahead of Kenny Richardson with a nett 65.

Gary Baird claimed the Category 3 prize with a nett 65, his round blemished only by a double bogey at the second hole and triple bogey at the final hole. But he was still three shots the better of Stephen McGarvey who picked up the runners up prize with a nett 68.
