He has been one of County Armagh's most consistent golfing campaigners over many years and, on 11 June, Paul Doyle lived up to that billing with a characteristically assured nett 66 to secure top spot in the Sunday stroke competition.
Doyle birdied the 3rd to nullify his bogey at the previous hole before further dropped shots at the 5th and 8th saw him reach the turn in 36 strokes.
A tremendous, if topsy-turvy, level-par back nine would follow, with the retired schoolteacher bogeying the 10th, 16th and 18th but slotting another birdie at the 12th and then holing his approach to the 14th green for a spectacular eagle two.
Paul's mastery of low-ball-flight golf is often admired, and he'll hope to earn more plaudits by consolidating the five-handicap status bestowed upon him by this excellent two-over-par round.
County Armagh Golf Club's index 18 and shortest par 5: the 12th, Ballyheridan.

It's difficult to imagine a performance more deserving of glory than that produced by John Maguire on Saturday 10 June.
Maguire illuminated the Lonsdale Cup, sponsored by Armagh City Hotel, with a stunning four-under-par gross 66 to earn a two-shot victory over the rest of a packed 195-man field.
Having netted category and gross prizes in recent weeks, John had already signalled that he was recapturing something like his best form.
Now, after turning in such a majestic display in one of the most prestigious fixtures in the County Armagh Golf Club calendar, he has identified himself as very much a golfer for the big occasion.
The then four-handicapper's sublime showing began with a tepid five at the 1st. However, a hat-trick of birdies at the 3rd, 6th and 7th and just one more dropped shot, at the 8th, saw him reach the turn in only 33 strokes.
Then followed an utterly flawless three-under-par back nine, in which another quick-fire Maguire birdie treble nestled nicely among six serene pars.
Uppermost among the myriad impressive aspects of John's Lonsdale masterclass are the fact that it arrived on a day of such stiff winds and his assured 4, 4, 4 denouement when many others would surely have lacked such composure.
The magnificent Lonsdale Cup is presented to winner John Maguire by Brian McCormack, representing sponsors Armagh City Hotel, and Club Captain Richard Stewart.

Tim Teahan's All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy side have continued their entertaining run in the competition with a 5·5-4·5 defeat of Edenmore that seals their passage to the 4th round.
With impressive victories over Ballyliffin and Mannan Castle already under their inter-club matchplay belt, the County Armagh men travelled to Magheralin on Sunday 4 June in the hope of making Edenmore their latest scalp.
In that rain-soaked away leg, the team secured two valuable points through a last-hole win for Oliver Connell and Martin Grimley and the half points provided by the pairings of Davy Spratt and Norman Mallon and Gavin McElmeel and Anthony Fagan.
As Edenmore now enjoyed a 3-2 and 11-hole halfway lead, County Armagh required 3·5 points from the return leg on Sunday 11 June and, with the tie so delicately poised, Captain Teahan shuffled his pack for that home clash.
