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.

Newcomer Stephen strokes ahead of the field

Club newcomer Stephen Weir was the model of consistency as he produced a nett 61 to win the Chest Heart and Stroke competition on Saturday.

After nine holes of the charity event he was just five over, with a string of pars blemished only by a double bogey seven at the par five eighth hole. He unfortunately repeated that double bogey seven at the tenth but recovered impressively to add a further four pars and a birdie two at the 13th to complete his winning round nett 61.

Gerry Kelly was in similar good form and will have been delighted with his nett 62 finish to take the runners up prize.

Five-handicapper Mark Loughran however, was the outstanding player of the day, one over after nine and returning a nett 65 to claim the honours in the low handicap category. Gerry McCreesh's nett 66 earned him a deserved second place in the same category.

Leo King will have been kicking himself after a triple bogey six at the par three third hole - his nett 63 finish earned him the top prize in category two - but there could have been so much more to celebrate, especially considering he carded three double bogey holes on his back nine. Martin Murphy picked up second prize in the same category with a nett 64 finish after shooting a par back-nine.

And a birdie three at the second hole inpsired Gary Lappin to a winning round in category three with a nett 63, his back nine edging it in front of Eamon Mallon who also returned a nett 63.

5th Derek McKeever 43pts

Patrick is untouchable

Patrick Campbell will have the handicap committee breathing down his neck if he produces any further winning rounds like he did in Sunday's Stableford competition.

His 46 winning points was simply untouchable in the Chest Heart and Stroke charity event, and he could even afford a no score at the final hole!

Jarleth Hagan was his nearest rival with 44 points - and he had a birdie three at the final hole! Barry McGurgan collected third prize with a similar 44 points but will also claim a lions share of the Two's on the day with no less than three birdie twos. And Robert Robinson's 24 points from the front nine set him well on his way to fourth prize with 44 points also.

To round up the day's 'big' scoring, Derek McKeever weighed in with 43 points for fifth - his round including birdies at the 11th and 15th holes.

Earlybirds scramble win

When many where still enjoying a Sunday morning ly-in, earlybirds Derek McKeever, Jarlath Hagan, Tony Davidson and Kieran Mullan were shooting their way to a Four-ball Scramble victory.

One tenth of the combined handicaps had teams chasing birdies from the outset and it was a magnificent seven which saw Derek and colleagues claim the top prize.

Three birdies from the first four holes set them on their way and they added a further two before the halfway stage. On the homeward trek consistent par scoring with yet another two birdies brought a gross total of 63 and with their combined handcap of 6.7, their 56.3 nett was always going to be hard to beat.

Paul Doyle, Michael Cullen, Tom Fox and Kieran Campbell certainly gave them a run for their money with a half-dozen birdies in their round bringing them a gross total of 62. But it was the 4.4 handicap which proved the difference and a nett 57.6 score could only secure them second prize.

Marty Oliver, Alan Magwood, Fergal and Brendan McKinney missed out on that second prize by the narrowest of margins - just point two, returning a 57.8 nett score with a 6.2 combined handicap.

Hair we go Gerry! 

Sporting a new hairstyle - or is it a hat! - Gerry McCreesh led his team to victory in the Fourball Eclectic competition on Saturday.

However, team mates Brian McGuigan, Niall McGeown and Brian Liddy had something more than Gerry's new barnet to smile about when they totted up their scores after their round. A nett 58 was to secure them first prize.

Gerry and Co's nett 29 over the front nine holes and a simlar 29 on the back was the difference between first and second, with Paddy Loughran, sons Mark and Ian, with Conor McAneney also returning a nett score 58. They shot a nett 26 over the front nine holes but a nett 32 on the back meant a runners up prize.

Brothers Brian and Paul Hughes, Hugh and Anthony McAneaney were also back in the prizes and with a nett 60 theirs was a deserved third.

Ciaran is clear winner 

Ciaran Black was the clear winner of the Club Stableford on Sunday with 44 points in somewhat difficult conditions.

The previous day's snow and continuing rain showers didn't make it easy for any of the reduced field, but Ciaran stomped his way to an impressive 24 points over the front nine and added a further 20 on the return trek for his winning score.

Gary McCourt pushed him all the way but was forced to settle for second prize with 42 points. Gary also chalked up 24 points on the front nine with back-to-back birdies at the sixth and seventh holes, but back-to-back bogeys at 11 and 12 proved costly and he was able to add only a further 18 points for his back nine.

Kenny Richardson showed some of his old form to collect third prize with 41 points. With 19 points accumulated on the outward trek, he produced one of the best back nines of the day to add a further 22 points.
