Birdie has Nicky singing for August medal

A birdie three at the final hole is the perfect way to finish any winning round - and that's exactly what Nicky Daly did to win County Armagh's August Medal with a magnificent nett 60 score.

Suprisingly until he sunk that final putt, Nicky was trailing Brian 'Red' Wilson on countback. But he held his nerve to record a superb birdie three on a day when low scoring was the name of the game.

Wilson, sporting stylisih new golfing shoes, was quietly confident he had done enough to win it. He was three over par after nine holes dropping shots at the first, third, fourth and fifth but recovering a shot with a birdie four at the eighth hole. Six pars in a row followed before he dropped a further shot at the difficult 16th hole and another at the last left the 14-handicapper a further two over par.

Daly however, was to steal it with that birdie on 18. In similar fashion to Wilson, the 15-handicapper was just three over after nine holes and on the homeward stretch dropped only a further three shots at 10, 13 and 14 before sinking that winning birdie.

Category One winner Colm Shannon had set the stage for the low scoring during Open Week recording a nett 59, and even with a considerably reduced handicap continued his good form for a nett 61 for his Medal prize. A birdie three at the sixth and 15th holes were the highlight of his round. Ronan O'Reilly was runner up with a nett 65.

But spare a thought for tyre-man Sean Dougan whose season's best nett 61 score earned him only a Category Two winner's prize and a three-shot handicap cut! Sean was just two over after nine and a back nine with birdies at 17 and 18 was otherwise spoiled by a nine - yes a nine - at the par five tenth hole. Ruari Digby's excellent nett 63 earned him the runners up prize in Category Two.

And Eamon Mallon who was to be presented with the Gerry Lenagh Trophy later the same day after winning the big Open Week competition, was back in the winners enclosure with a nett 65 to claim the Category Three prize, with JH Kirk a shot behind - nett 66 - picking up the runners up prize.

Winning ways rub off on Ian

Ian Ritchie picked up the winning bug from fellow playing partner and recent Webster Cup winner Neil Linton to take the honours in the Club Stableford competition.

An excellent 44 points - 22 recorded both front and back nines - secured Ian the prize in a considerably reduced field from the previous day.

Barrie Walker had surprisingly the better of Ian over the front nine holes with 24 points, but could add only a further 19 for a total 43 points to take second prize. His round included birdies at the second, fifth, sixth, eighth and 12th holes.

Eamon McVeigh was two points further adrift on 41 points with 20 and 21 points respectively front and back nine holes took third.

And Kieran Mullan returned to the prizes with 40 points claiming fourth on the day, a birdie three at the par four fifth hole the highlight of his round which yeilded 20 points front and back nines.

Mrs Lenagh made the presentation in the company of Club Captain Tom Calvert and other prizewinners in the competition which was kindly sponsored by Morgan McLernon Transport Distribution

Eamon lifts Gerry Lenagh Trophy

Eamon Mallon was the big winner in County Armagh Golf Club's Open Week, lifting the Gerry Lenagh Trophy.

The annual stableford competition was the climax of a thrilling series of mens', womens' and juvenille events and once again attracted one of the biggest fields of the year.  Breezy conditions removed any chances of repeated record scoring seen earlier in the week. But it still took an exceptional score to win the coveted trophy presented by the Lenagh family.

Eamon's 42 points claimed the prize. 22 points accumulated over the front nine holes laid the foundations of what was to be a steady scoring round in which he added a further 20 points over the back nine holes.

It was just enough to edge it in front of a chasing pack of four players all returning 41 points and having to be separated on countback.

Barry McGurgan's 23 points back nine took the runners up prize, Brendan Powell's back nine 21 earned him third, Damien Grimley's no-score at 14 cost him dearly but his 21 points back nine still secured him fourth place, and Nigel McMahon claimed prize number five after a sizzling front nine 23 points and a further 18 recorded on the homeward trek. Ronan O'Reily continued his run of good form to take sixth with 40 points.

The Gross Stabelford competition was equally competitive and four-handicaper Neil Cromwell's level par round (36 points) deservedly claimed the honours, six-handicapper Conal Hamill second with 34points beating Conor McGurgan (2) also with 34 points, on countback.

Downpatrick Golf Club's Stephen McAneney won the Visitors Prize with 37 points.

A Senior moment for Captain Tom!

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Tom Calvert won the Open Week Seniors competition by what he readily admits himself was the narrowest of margins.

It was his 23 points racked up over the back nine holes to accompany 19 points over the front nine holes for a total 42 which ultimately won Tom the prize. Birdies at holes  five, 13 and 14 where the highlight of his round.

But clipping at his heals were no less than four players also returning 42 points - Mick Murphy, Eugene Creelman, visitor Colin Wallace and Richard Black.
