Club Stableford - Saturday 5 February

1st      K Grimley    44 pts (best back nine)

2nd     M Murphy   44 pts

3rd      W Gordon   43 pts (best back nine)

4th      S Macneice 43 pts

5th      P Doyle      41 pts (best back nine)

 

Kieran gallops to photo-finish win

Kieran Grimley galloped to a stableford competition win on Saturday with an impressive 44 points.

Despite the heavy going and damp conditions, Kieran took the honours in a photo-finish with Mick Murphy who also carded 44 points on the day.

It was to have been the start of the new Spring League, but with rain preventing any play on Sunday, Saturday's competition became a club stableford.

Kieran got off to a flying start with a run of five pars which set him up for an impressive 23 points over the front nine. And with further consistent scoring and a further flutter of three pars to finish, his final tally of 44 points was always going to get him to the winners enclosure.

Mick Murphy will be disappointed to have been beaten by a short head with his 44 points amassed from 24 on the front nine and 20 on the back. So too will Winston Gordon whose 43 points  earned him third prize. But his was a better back nine to push S Macneice into fourth place. Paul Doyle collected his first prize of the year with 41 points.

Club Stableford - Sunday 23 January 2011

1st Niall P McGeown  42points

2nd Paul Smith  42 points

3rd Mark Gillen 42 points

 

Niall insures stableford win

Niall P McGeown's par at the 17th hole proved the insurance required to secure first prize in Sunday's stableford competition.

The par-putt gave him the extra point over the back nine on Paul Smith and Mark Gillen who each also carded 42 points.

Niall was in consistent form in thawing conditions with 21 points over the front nine and repeated that score on the back nine.

Surprisingly Paul and Mark were actually leading the charge after nine holes, each with 22 points, but both could manage only a further 20 points each on the back nine.

An impressive birdie three at the par-4 16th hole clinched the runner's up prize for Paul in countback over the last three holes.

1st      David Spratt     41pts (best back nine)

2nd     Norman Mallon  41pts

3rd      Micky Cullen     40pts

 

The long and the short of it ...

It's no tall story, diminutive David Spratt won the Club stableford on Saturday.

The wee man took the prize with 41 points, but Norman Mallon will stand tall in the knowledge he lost out on countback after returning the same 41 points.

Steady scoring over the front nine saw David stack up 19 points and his good form continued on the inward trek with a further 22 points added to his tally.

Norman chalked up 20 points over the front nine and added 21 on the back nine, but a 'no score' at 14 was the difference in the winning and having to settle for second.

Michael Cullen claimed third prize in a somewhat depleted field, returning 21 points on the front nine and 19 on the back for a very respectable 40 points.

Charlie Johnston ‘s Sunday spuds had a winning flavour to them after an early morning winning round at County Armagh.
 
The Armagh Produce Company director served up 42 points to take the honours in the second club stableford competition of the new year.
 
George Gillespie returned a similar impressive score of 42 points but had to settle for second prize with Charlie’s back nine better on countback.
 
In cold and blustery conditions throughout the day, quite  a number of golfers took to the city course. The winter sunshine was however, a pleasant relief from the previous day’s rain when only a dozen hardy golfers braved the elements.
 
As a result, Saturday’s stableford competition was reduced to a Club Sweep and Leo King took the only prize with a very impressive 44 points.
 
Leo was also in the prizes on Sunday, taking third with 40 points, and his better back nine leaving Tom Murray and Jim Wilson, both also returning 40 points, to pick up fourth and fifth prizes respectively.
 
Prizes can be collected in the County Armagh Golf Club Pro shop.

ANDY Conn shook off the effects of the holiday festivities to get his new year off to a winning start at County Armagh Golf Club on Sunday.

In fact he left all trailing in his wake in the first stableford competition of 2011 with a superb winning 45 points – four points clear of his nearest rival.

A birdie two at the third hole also boosted his winnings on the day and he could even afford an out-of-bound shot at the last hole.

Mark Gillen led the chasing pack and along with Davy Spratt and Norman Mallon recorded 41 points to claim second, third and fourth place respectively on countback.
