If there was a league table ranking families on the basis of accolades accrued at County Armagh Golf Club this season, the Grimley clan would surely have already built an insurmountable lead at its summit.

With brothers Kieran, David and Bernard already knee-deep in honours over recent months — even going toe-to-toe with one another for prizes on occasion — Martin added to the deadly quartet's plentiful 2017 plunder by securing victory in the Sunday stableford competition  on 28 June .

Starting the day playing off a handicap of 16, Martin posted pars at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 8th before a double bogey at the often troublesome 9th checked his progress slightly.

Nevertheless, that six-over-par front nine provided the All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy stalwart with a useful platform from which to launch a potentially tournament-triumphing assault on the back nine.

County Armagh's penultimate par 3: the 11th, Shambles.

Despite a hectic current schedule that sees his weeknights filled with meetings, his weekends spent following the club's teams the length and breadth of the Province and almost every other waking moment consumed with other club duties, notably preparations for his big day  on 24 June, Captain Richard Stewart still managed to squeeze in competition glory at County Armagh Golf Club.

In the Open Stroke sponsored by Hillview Lodge Driving Range on Saturday 27 May, Richard produced a career best gross 77 to seal victory by a single stroke from the red-hot Christopher Lester.

Six outward pars enabled Stewart to reach the turn in 37 blows before he went into overdrive early in his back nine.

Birdie fours at the 10th and 12th mingled agreeably with pars at the 11th, 13th and 14th as the then 14-handicapper found himself just one over par with four holes remaining.

It's entirely understandable for anyone to become a tad edgy at such a highly promising juncture and, indeed, Richard somewhat stumbled over the finish line.

However, El Capitano wouldn't be denied a stunning nett 63, which was even more impressive considering the blustery and showery conditions with which he had to cope. His red-letter day means a handicap snip to 12 and ought to put an increased spring in his step for the further busy days and nights ahead.

Since remarkable back-to-back competition wins on the second weekend of April, Neill Dowzell had been absent from the prizewinners' enclosure as his golfing fortunes returned to earth with the rest of us.

However, the Caledon native is back with a vengeance, emerging triumphant in the stableford competition played at County Armagh Golf Club on 21 May.

In an accomplished 77-stroke round, Dowzell racked up no fewer than 12 tidy pars, including a stunning six on the bounce to conclude proceedings and simultaneously dash the hopes of his 96 rivals on the day.

His 41-point scorecard also showed five acceptable bogeys, with a seven at the notorious 10th the only genuine blot on his highly meritorious Sunday copybook.

Although now playing off 11 as a result of his repeated tournament-winning antics, Neill is clearly an individual who knows how to get the job done and few would be surprised to see him taste further success in some of the prestigious fixtures on the horizon.

The penultimate test at County Armagh Golf Club: the 17th hole, Fairy Thorn.

He'd been knocking on it for weeks as he collected a series of category prizes and, finally, the door to overall competition success was opened to Gary McAleavey in County Armagh Golf Club's May Medal.

In the strokeplay event held on Saturday 20 May, Gary carded an unbeatable nett 63 to seal victory by two clear shots from the rest of the 167-strong field.

Seven fine pars and the bonus of a brilliant birdie up on Rokeby Green provided the backbone of McAleavey's May masterclass, which has resulted in a well-earned handicap reduction from 21 to 19.

May Medal winner Gary McAleavey is presented with his prize by Eileen Stewart, manager at Armagh Business Centre, who sponsored the competition, and daughter Nicola Stewart. Also pictured are category winner Michael Grant and Club Captain Richard Stewart.
