AN HISTORIC CLUB WITH A MAGNIFICENT GEORGIAN PARKLAND SETTING SINCE 1893

Ronan is Mr Cool for Medal win

RONAN McWilliams was 'Mr Cool' as he produced a magnificent winning round in the June Medal competition at County Armagh Golf Club.

As temperatures soared on a scorching Saturday, 18-handicapper Ronan returned a sizzling nett 61 to claim his prize and with it a spot in the Club Championship top 20.

Two over par after nine holes, with shots dropped only at the 5th and 7th, Ronan knew a steady back-nine would surely get him in the prizes. Seven bogey's and two pars later he had returned an excellent nett 61 to deservedly lift the Medal prize.

Gerry Cullen, like Ronan, will undoubtedly feel the wrath of the Handicap Convenor after returning a nett 62 for the runners up prize. A triple-bogey seven at the 4th undoubtedly cost him on the day.

Barman Shea Brady's best gross score 68, nett 62 also secured him first prize in the 0-12 handicap category with Ian Millar a further two shots adrift on nett 64, taking second.

Davy Baird's early round telling off from within his own fourball was enough to spur him on to a nett 65 finish to claim the top prize in the 13-18 handicap category. And Alan Magwood followed up on his son James' success the previous week to claim the runners up prize with an excellent nett 66.

The cricketing weather obviously brings out the best in Andrew Rennie, as the former City club captain returned an excellent nett 64 to win the 19-28 handicap category by one shot - Stephen McGarvey the runner up with a nett 65.

And the new Green Marker Competition for over 70s, was won by Dr Oliver Woods with 40points.
