Thoroughbred Paul strokes to victory

PAUL Corvan has confirmed his thoroughbred status on the County Armagh Golf course with victory in the recent Club Stroke event.

The 10-handicapper shot an impressive gross three-over par, nett 63 to win the Sunday competition.

A birdie 2 at the 7^th hole helped his front nine cause after he dropped shots at the 3^rd, 4^th and 8^thholes. Surprisingly the relatively easy par five 12^th hole proved troublesome and he dropped another shot. But he quickly recovered this with a fine birdie 2 at the very next hole. Between this and the finish there was to be but one further blemish – a bogey at the 17^th. But his nett 63 was still to be the best on the day.

Alex Nesbitt was just a shot behind the galloping Corvan with a nett 64 – birdies at the 2^nd and 15^th holes the highlight of the 12-handicapper’s round.

Adam Cromwell edged the first prize in Category 1 from his father Neil. Both returned nett 66 scores, but on countback it was the young protégé who emerged with the winning score. Worthy of note from this pairing, between them they recorded eight birdies!

Meanwhile, Danny McGee was another to return a nett 66 and walked away with the top prize in Category 2 where Turlough Brady was the delighted runner up on nett 72.

Anthony Fegan’s nett 68 earned him first prize in Category 3 – despite a triple bogey and double bogey start to his round. And Philip Devlin clinched the runner’s up prize with a nett 69.

Ricky’s a first –time winner

NEWCOMER Ricky Dobbs picked up the first major prize of his golfing career after winning the Professional’s Competition at County Armagh Golf Club.

The young golfer who only joined the city club earlier this year, chalked up an impressive 45 points to pick up Pro Alan Rankin’s prize presented annually.

Ricky’s excellent 24 points from the back nine holes complimented 21 on the front nine for that impressive top score, which was two points better than all the rest on the day.

John Brannigan was the nearest challenger on 42 points and deservedly picked up the runner’s up prize – birdies at the 4^th and 9^th holes helping him on his way.

Michael Curley also returned 42 points to take the Category 1 handicap first prize – two points better than Kieran Donnelly on 42. Kieran collected the runners up prize.

Christopher Stockdale made a return to the winner’s enclosure with his 41points the best in Category 2. Darren O’Hagan was runner up but will have been sorely disappointed by his hat-trick of double bogeys to finish!

Gerry Cullen meanwhile, was the top scorer in Category 3 with 39 points and pipped Neal Cassin – also returning 39 points – to first prize by virtue of a better back nine.

John Maguire’s 36points claimed the Best Gross prize on the day.
