AN HISTORIC CLUB WITH A MAGNIFICENT GEORGIAN PARKLAND SETTING SINCE 1893

Roy's Mayne Cup man

Roy Turner will have his name engraved on the Arthur Mayne Cup after winning the annual stableford competition at County Armagh Golf Club.

Even recovering from a knee operation, Roy's 37 points was still the best score of the competition played each year by the club's over 65s.

He joined the ranks of the senior members earlier in the year after celebrating his 65th birthday, and has quickly added to his array of silverware won down the years in Armagh, by lifting the Arthur Mayne trophy.

After securign 19 points from the front nine holes, he got off to the worst possible start on the back nine with a 'no score' on 10. However, he birdied the 12th and returnng to that consistent scoring of the outward trek, was to add a further 18 points for a final tally 37.

Danny Maxwell was his nearest rival and infact was beaten only on countback after carding the same 37 points. A double-bogey six at the 14th was his undoing.
