An outstanding nett 63 on 15 July enabled Philip Richards to get his hands on the latest piece of silverware on offer at County Armagh Golf Club, namely the Allen Cup.

The stroke competition sponsored by JR McMahon Menswear was clearly tailor-made for Richards and, after just six holes, he had fashioned a highly agreeable position of being four under his handicap.

The towering left-hander's round then threatened to come apart at the seams with consecutive double bogeys at the 7th and 8th halting his progress. However, in the face of this potential adversity, Philip certainly measured up, posting pars to suit at the 9th, 14th and 15th in addition to a bespoke birdie at the 11th as he recaptured that early momentum.

Richards concluded proceedings with a pair of nicely fitting fives to complete a debonair performance that saw him eclipse his 172 Saturday opponents and secure a hard-earned two-shot handicap reduction.

County Armagh Golf Club President, Walter Neville, presents the Allen Cup to Philip Richards and daughter Nina after daddy's win in the JR McMahon Menswear-sponsored competition. Also pictured are category 2 winner, Alec Nesbitt, and runner-up, Gerry Kelly.

County Armagh Golf course escaped the worst of the summer downpours which saw some local courses closed on Thursday 20 th July. Despite the threat of thunderstorms, 50 ladies turned out to compete for the July Medal. A further 15 took part in a 9 hole competition with another 5 playing in the Get Into Golf competition.

Despite a computer glitch which required scores to be calculated manually, testing the patience of Anne, Una and Barbara, the results were completed in time for the presentation by Lady Captain Gail.

The course was in superb condition, with fast running greens making scoring difficult. Hilary Johnston found no such difficulty however, returning an excellent net 66 to win by 5 shots from Siobhan Donnelly, in second place. Gladys Villiers secured 3 rd place with a 72 while Ellen Brady took another Gross prize with 80 strokes.

A full list of prizewinners is as follows:

The difficulty of getting a winning score over the line at county Armagh Golf Club is often remarked upon, and justifiably so given the course's particularly testing closing stretch. However, Adam Hunniford made a mockery of that cliché as he romped down the home straight to prevail in the Sunday Stableford on 9 July.

Having recorded eight pars and five bogeys in his opening 13 holes of the McAnenly Transport-sponsored event, Hunniford will likely have stepped onto the 14th tee hoping for a reasonably solid showing over the last five to complete a satisfactory morning's graft at the competitive chalkface.

But the nine-handicapper produced rather more than that by proceeding to complete those remaining five holes in one under par. He posted a four at Sequoias before birdieing the 15th and, in an admirable display of composure under pressure, parring the 16th, 17th and 18th for a superb gross 74 that sealed a merited maiden victory of the season.

That bountiful late points grab was decisive too, because Paul Pender also finished strongly to match the 41-point Hunniford haul but ultimately had to settle for second place on a back-nine break of tie. Pender had already turned in a string of impressive and prizewinning performances in 2017, and this was just another.

Adam Hunniford, winner of the stableford competition sponsored by McAnenly Transport Ltd, is presented with his prize by Sean McAnenly. Also pictured are County Armagh Golf Club Captain Richard Stewart and other prizewinners (L-R) Martin Carson, Paul Pender, Mark Keogh, Shea Smyth and Dermot O'Neill.

Thursday's competition in County Armagh Golf Club was a day of two halves. Bright sunny conditions greeted the morning players while those in the later part of the draw endured rain and wind. Nevertheless 44 players competed for the Ian Donaldson Trophy which was donated by Ian during his Captain's year in 1979. He later served as President of the Club when the existing clubhouse was reopened following reconstruction in 1982.

Bryan Hynds Garden Machinery are the new sponsors for this prestigious trophy. Lady Captain Gail explained that unfortunately the proprietors of Hynds Machinery were unable to attend the prize giving on this occasion but on behalf of the Ladies' Branch expressed her sincere thanks for their generous sponsorship.

Maura McCoy took third place with 39 points just behind Toni McManus who beat her on a countback. The overall winner was Colette McAleavey with 40 points. Accepting her prize Colette thanked her playing partner Lily and the new sponsors, and expressed her delight at being the recipient of the cup.
