Anthony has designs on Open win

ANTHONY McElmeel built himself an outstanding winning score to clinch the top prize in the Holmes & Doran Surveyors Ltd sponsored Open Stableford competition at County Armagh.

His 45 points in the first of the Open Week contests, was three points more than the rest of the field.

With 21 points secured over the front nine holes - including a birdie three at the 6th hole - Anthony had a solid foundation on which to build. And when he launched the back nine with a birdie, par, birdie he was always going to be hard to catch. In the end he added 24 points to his front-nine tally for that superb winning score of 45 points.

In contrast, second placed Leo McCann was on a roll from the off and by the turn had chalked up  24 points. A few nervous holes to finish somewhat spoiled his round but with a further 18 points accumulated, his 42 points tally was much deserving of the runners up prize.

Paul McCreesh rattled up a massive 25 points on the back nine on top of 16 points from the front nine, to claim third prize. John Sheehan's 41 points obviously bowed to Paul, but he will rue the no score at the 8th hole.

Kenny Spence and Philip Kelly also produced 41 points each and picked up fifth and sixth prizes respectively. And Jarlath McReynolds claimed his second prize in a week with 40 points, five under par back nine and 23 points the highlight of yet another impressive round.

Declan roasts Sunday stableford

DECLAN McKee sat down to Sunday dinner last week-end with a winning smile after recording 44 points in the County Armagh club stableford earlier that morning.

A six-over par back-nine, which yeilded 24 points, on top of 20 points from his front nine, was the undoubted clincher in the competition.

The previous day's handicap cut for PJ Quinn was perhaps a deciding factor also. He returned 43 points with an equally impressive two over par and 24 points on his homeward trek off his new 15 handicap.  

Benny McArdle claimed third prize with 42 points. A level par back nine yeilding 23 points for the 10-handicapper. And Shane O'Halleron was fourth with 41 points, just tipping it in front of Francis Curley, also on 41 points, and who will undoubtedly have been disappointed with a 'no score' at the 15th.

Neil Monaghan's 'no score' at the 6th cost him dearly also but he will still have been delighted to be among the prizes with 41 points returned on the day.

Andrew's a Crystal clear winner

ANDREW McTaggart set the standard for County Armagh Golf Club's Open Week with an outstanding winning score in the Crystal Clean Dry Cleaners sponsored competition.

The 12-handicapper's nett 62 was untouchable and deservedly claimed the first of the Open Week's prizes.

After a steady start, dropping shots at only the 2nd and 7th holes, Andrew recovered from a double bogey at the 8th with a birdie at the 9th for a three over par front nine. But he dropped only one further shot - at the par five 10th - for the remainder of his round to card that nett 62.

Nine-handicapper Thomas Murray was within a shot of him, recording a nett 63. Thomas opened with two birdies and added a third at the 5th hole before back-to-back bogeys at the 8th and 9th for a one under par front nine. That consistent form was continued through the back nine until he double bogeyed the 15th and dropped another shot at the final hole to record his nett 63.

Undoubtedly the form player in the club at present, Jarlath McReynolds, playing of a handicap of two, claimed third prize on the day with a nett 64. He was four under after nine on an outward trek which included four birdies, and a level par back nine deservedly earned him the plaudits.

Stewart Hall, with a nett 65, led home the remainder of the field -  his fourth prize fund boosted by birdie twos at the 11th and 13th holes.

The ever-improving James Magwood produced a nett 65 to claim fifth prize, nicking it on the back nine from Johnny Palmer on the same nett 65 score. And a delighted PJ Quinn picked up the final prize on the day with yet another net 65.
