Competition Convenor Davy Baird is determined to mix it up for County Armagh golfers and this Saturday he has planned a Greensomes event with a twist.

It's a pairs competition with the handicap half the combined handicap of the partners. Both players drive of the tee then pick the best drive and play alternative striokes until the hole is completed.

The twist is, each player must have a minimum of six drives. It's also a Stroke competition. Good Luck!

No confusing Team Classic winners

The competition format involved recording the best single score from the team over the first six holes, the best two scores from the team over the next six holes and the best three scores from the team at the remaining six holes.

Paul and Brian Hughes, Joe McKenna and Hugh McEneaney pushed the winners all the way and finsihed with 89 points to secure second prize.

The cricketers, Kenny Edgar, Mark Elliott and Andrew Rennie, joined by Ivan Holmes, claimed third prize with 88 points.And Mickey Crozier, Ian Millar, Andy Steed and Geoffrey McCartney claimed the final prize of this fun competition.

Stewart's making headlines again

Richard Stewart's double bogey six at the last hole could so easily have cost him dearly in Sunday's Club Stableford, but by that stage he'd already secured enough points over his back nine to claim the competition's first prize.

His 23 points on the inward trek - along with 21 from the front nine - was enough to clinch it ahead of the ever consistent Johnny Palmer, who also returned 44 points.

A birdie two at the ninth hole and a birdie three at the 15th were the highlights of Richard's round. Johnny on the other hand had three brides - at the second, ninth nd 18th.

Ruari Digby picked up third prize with 43 points, 20 on the front nine and 23 on the back where he had a birdie two at the 11th hole.

Mark Gillen was also back in the prizes taking fourth with 42 points, recording 20 on the outward trek including a birdie two at the 7th hole, and 22 points over the back nine with a birdie three at the 17th.

And with some very consistent scoring throughout his round, F Smyth picked up the final prize on the day with 42 points.

Paul Corvan up the opposition

Paul Corvan established the basis for his winning score in the Sunday Club Stableford with a very impressive 24 points over the front nine holes.

It didn't get off to a brilliant start on the back nine though, with a double bogey at the tenth hole. But he quickly returned to that consistent scoring to add a further 20 points for a winning score of 44 points.

Paddy Darragh might well have been thinking along the same lines when he counted his front nine score of 23, but double bogey's at the second and ninth holes almost certainly cost him. He too carded 20 points on the back nine for his 43 points total and second prize.

And with a reduced field for this competition Ciaran Black was delighted to find himself in the prizes with 42 points - and that was without scoring at the 11th and 12th holes!

Big hitting Nigel is back in the prizes

Consistency was the name of the game for big-hitting Nigel McMahon on Sunday when he collected his second stableford competition win in a month with 42 points.

High winds made conditions difficult for most, but 'Onion' played a very steady round to secure 20 points on the front nine and add a further 22 on the back. His birdie three at the 15th hole accompanied with a half-dozen pars on the homeward trek was enough to clinch it ahead of Martin Murphy who also carded an impressive 42 points. Martin will however, rue his 'no-score' at the 10th hole, especially when a birdie three at the very difficult 16th was recorded.

Oisin Toner was another to rack up a score of 42 points on the day, 21 front and back, followed closely by Peter Murtagh with 41 points. And bringing up the rear was Danny Maxwell on 40 points.

Culub Stableford Sat 19th Feb 11

1st J Lowe                       43pts

2nd C McElroy                   42pts (best back nine)

3rd G Hughes                    42pts (best back six)

4th D Spratt                      42pts

5th I Brown                       41pts (best back one)

Lowe and behold ...

John Lowe made the most of the excellent weather conditions on Saturday to win the Stableford competition with 43 points.

Underfoot it was very damp indeed, but a spring sunshine and light breeze made for a pleasant round, and in John's case, a winning one.

A string of pars over the front nine was marred only by a double bogey at the par-five eighth hole. But that single point for 21 points on the outward trek was to prove crucial at the end. A birdie 4 at the next par five set him on his way to 22 points over the back nine and together his 21 and 22 points respectively proved to be the winning score.

Just a point behind on 42 was Colm McElroy and it was his better back nine which edged the runners up prize ahead G Hughes, a winner last week. Another previous winner of recent weeks, Davy Spratt, returned a similar 42 points to claim fourth prize. And single figure handicapper I Brown collected the final prize of the day with 41 points - a birdie three at the last hole securing that for him.
