Friday 4 th May 2018 2pm shot gun start.
To mark the 125 th anniversary of the founding of Co Armagh Golf Club the Lady Captain Elizabeth Mawhinney in conjunction with the Ladies Committee and Captain Colm Shannon organised a “Vintage” 9-hole Ladies and Gents stableford competition (shotgun start) followed by afternoon tea. The event was kindly sponsored by the Vintage Bar and Lounge Armagh whose generous support covered the cost of the day's festivities.
Competitors were encouraged to dress in “vintage attire” and most Ladies and many Gentlemen went to great lengths to do so. While the vintage hickory shafted clubs donated to the club by Conlon Rice, were taken from their display cabinet, none of the competitors elected to use them. With a little imagination it might have been possible to recall the gentle thwack of persimmon against gutta perchas as the elegantly clad players graced the fairways in bright sunshine.

Very soon, the wisdom of wearing tweeds, petticoats and elaborate bonnets was called into question as the afternoon warmed up. Enough of the men.

CAGC Ladies branch members competed for the MacMillan Charity Stableford Competition on the 3rd May. The course was in magnificent condition for the annual competition which was again sponsored by Vincent Mone and Son who have been generous sponsors of the competition, and in turn, the charity for many years. Miserable weather conditions in the morning with incessant rain dissuaded many from playing including the sponsor. Those who were in the afternoon draw avoided the showers but did not enjoy the elusive sunshine predicted in the forecast.
Lady Captain Elizabeth welcomed Ann Mone who was Lady Captain in 1984 and thanked her for the spectacular display of Newbridge giftware which the lucky winners would receive. Elizabeth described Ann as someone with a great sense of humour and fun who has been great friend of CAGC.
A full list of category prize-winners is set out below, but the top places were contested between Teresa McVeigh in third place with 32 points, Emma Garrigan in second on 33 and Paula McCrory who secured top spot with 35 points and a one-shot handicap cut for her efforts. Ann in her speech indicated it was a pleasure for her to sponsor the competition as the Mac Millian charity is one particularly close to her heart. She also thanked Elizabeth for the excellent Lady Captain's outing to Roe Park and wished her every success with the Vintage Competition which has been organised by Elizabeth to mark the 125 th anniversary of the founding of the club.

The first Sunday qualifier of County Armagh Golf Club's 2018 campaign yielded a deserving winner in the shape of stormin' Norman Mallon.
Playing on 22 April, Mallon reached the turn in 44 blows before three pars on the way home enabled him to complete the back nine in the same number.
This was a day when, underfoot, the soft ground was offering little run, and, overhead, there was the customary stiff breeze. So, any decent return would necessarily be hard-earned. Norman's marvellous nett 67 was especially pleasing, therefore, and also seals for him a satisfying one-stroke handicap cut.
County Armagh's 17th Hole: par 4, Fairy Thorn
A single shot back and closest to Mallon in the overall standings was Stephen Catterall on nett 68. Catterall reeled off no fewer than 11 pars amid his high-quality gross 78, and this prolific prize-gatherer has been rendered a single-figure handicapper by virtue of his latest skilful display.

Forty four ladies from County Armagh Golf Club participated in a most enjoyable Lady Captain's outing to Roe Park Resort and Country Club on Sunday 22 nd and Monday 23 rd of April. The parkland course proved a stern test of golf and the mixed weather conditions added to competition. The Roe Park hotel proved an excellent choice of venue with beautiful food, excellent service and luxurious spa facilities.
Lady Captain Elizabeth Mawhinney had meticulously planned the event and provided a beautiful array of prizes purchased from DevinebyDonna. The winner of first prize Siobhan Donnelly was also the recipient of the inaugural “Green jacket” which was designed and produced by Ita Devenney who unfortunately had been unable to attend the outing

The April Medal is always a much-anticipated item on the County Armagh Golf Club fixture list, signifying as it does the beginning of the fully competitive season.
With the white markers in place for the first time, handicaps subject to fluctuation once more as a result, and the format stroke rather than stableford (the staple of winter golfing exchanges), it was all systems go on Saturday 21 April. Indeed, even the sun made a rare appearance to provide extra gloss to the tournament sponsored by S Millar & Son Painters and Decorators.
And all of the aforementioned conditions seemed to galvanize Adam Cromwell, who clinched the first Medal of 2018. The towering youngster did so in some style too, firing a superb level-par gross 70 on a day when a blustery wind made scoring far from straightforward.
Four birdies, including a purple patch of three in five holes from the 2nd to the 6th, helped Adam to the dominant position of two under par with three to play before a couple of shots were ceded over the notorious closing stretch. It all added up to a peerless nett 65, which means a no doubt welcome handicap clip from five to four and represents an accomplished launch of Cromwell's qualifying campaign.
Adam Cromwell is presented with County Armagh Golf Club's April Medal by Club Captain, Colm Shannon. Also pictured are Andrew Millar (second from left) representing competition sponsors, S Millar & Son Painters and Decorators, and other prizewinners (L-R) Kevin McElvanna, Shea Smyth and Stephen Nugent.
Kevin McElvanna enjoyed a highly promising maiden year at County Armagh Golf Club in 2017, and he looks eager to carry on that good form this term.

While early April usually marks the start of the golfing season with the Augusta Masters, the Ladies of County Armagh Golf Club begin their golfing endeavours in earnest on the last Thursday of April with competition for the Millennium Bowl for golfers in the handicap range of 0-24, and the McCall Shield for golfers in the 25 to 36 handicap bracket.
The Millennium Bowl was donated by the Lady Captain in 2000, Mrs. Cecelia Woods while the McCall Shield was donated by Flo McCall during her captaincy in 2009.
Lady Captain Elizabeth Mawhinney and Anne O'Reilly sponsor with prize winners of the Millennium Bowl and McCall Shield stroke competition
Lady Captain Elizabeth Mawhinney warmly welcomed Anne O'Reilly who presented the prizes on behalf of the sponsors for the event O'Reilly and Fee, Veterinary Surgery and thanked her most sincerely for their extremely generous support. Elizabeth was also delighted to welcome Cecilia Woods and Flo McCall who were the original donors of the trophy and shield.

A recent weekend of pairs and team events at County Armagh Golf Club gave players a rare chance to pool their talents in the hunt for honours.
In a Four-Ball Better-Ball competition on Saturday 14 April, a deadly duo of Laurence Corr and the in-form Oliver Connell emerged triumphant with 46 points.
That total kept them one clear of runners-up Leo King and Philip Dowey who, on account of their superior back-nine performance, pushed Gareth Reilly and Gavin McArdle into the bronze medal position.
The following day, a Four-Ball Team Classic saw the high-quality quartet of Tom Fox, Michael Cullen, John Vernon and Kieran Campbell rack up a massive 106 points to secure a comfortable victory.
Sunday's second place was filled by Mark Frazer, Jim McMullan, Andrew Conn and Philip Russell on 99 points.
Meanwhile, the same score was registered by Geoff McCartney, Johnny Brown, Norman Mallon and Colin Clarke, who had to settle for third place after losing out on a break of tie.
Such tournaments provide a welcome break from golf's inherent selfishness but, with the 2018 campaign's first qualifier having since been played, pursuit of individual glory will be the priority from here on in.
County Armagh's final par 3: the 13th, Rokeby Green.
