Jimmy brightens summer with June Medal win

JIMMY Wilson’s summer arrived in fine style as he celebrated a June Medal victory at County Armagh Golf Club.

The six-handicapper signed for a superb nett 65 to claim the coveted prize and a place in the Club Championship in September.

A one-under par 33 shots for the front nine holes set the scene for Jimmy. Indeed it was the unlucky 13^th hole before he dropped his first shot.

A birdie three at the 15^th however, restored his one-under par score, but on the very difficult 16^th he again suffered a bogey.

Jimmy steadied himself with a par at the 17^th but with his best round of the year in sight he let slip a further shot to finished with a one-over gross 71 and winning nett 65 score.

Despite that nervous finish it was enough to claim the Medal ahead of MJ Murphy who also carded a hugely impressive nett 65. But on countback he had to settle for the runners up prize on the day.

Newcomer John Beale led home the low handicappers with a nett 67 off his four handicap - birdies at the 3^rd, 13^th and 18^th holes were the highlight of a superb round, but a double bogey six at the first hole ultimately cost him dearly.

Paul Corvan was the Category One runner up and could have the handicap committee looking over his shoulder once again with his nett 67.

Mark Stevenson’s nett 66 claimed the Category 2 first prize – his better back nine winning ahead of GE O’Reilly who also carded a nett 66.

Gary Baird’s nett 66 and again, better back nine, earned him first prize in Category 3 where runner up on the day was Gerry Cullen also with a nett 66.

SUCH was his impressive margin of victory in County Armagh's recent Open Stabelford, Brian Wilson's nickname 'Red' was appropriately fitting - embarrassingly so!

The flame-haired Wilson's 45 points was the outstanding score in the competition, kindly sponsored by King Brothers Quarry.

The 13-handicapper dropped three shots on both front and back nine holes respectively, but birdie 2's at the 3rd and 13th holes saw him register a nett 61 for his 45 points.

Nathan Grimley on any other day might have claimed first prize with an excellent 43 points. But the 7-handicapper had to settle for runners up prize on this occasion. 22 and 21 points respectively from front and back nine saw Nathan home with 43 points.

Gerry Kelly's 43 points, secured despite four double bogeys, was enough to earn him third prize with John George Willis a further two points a drift on 41 points picking up fourth prize.

Dungannon Golf Club visitor G O'Callaghan was a deserved fifth prize winner with 41 points and Nigel 'Onion' McMahon's steady 40 points took sixth, with Mark Loughran picking up 7th with 39 points.

Conor McGurgan's 37pts and Neil Cromwell's 35pts were the best Gross scores on the day.

Winner of the King Bros Quarry sponsored Open Stableford, Brian 'Red' Wilson is presented with his prize by Mark and Jonathan King from the Armagh company, who joined Club Captain Pat McAleavey for the competition presentation to Brian and and runners up, (from left), Nigel McMahon, Neil Cromwell, Gerry Kelly and John George Willis.

DAVID P Grimley rejoined what appears an endless list of Grimley's who have featured in the prizes this year at County Armagh by winning the recent Sunday stableford competition.

His 41 points was the best on the day in the Complete Living Solutions sponsored event - albeit in countback where his better back nine pushed another 41 pointer, Alec Nesbitt, into second place.

But it meant David now joins dad David, who was also listed among the competition winners on the day, Kieran and Nathan - all from the same wider Grimley family - in the list of top prize winners in club competitions this season.

A respectable 17 points from the front nine holes reflected little of what 21-handicapper David was to produce on the back nine - a superb 24 points - and that with a 'no score' at the 18th hole. 

Alec Nesbitt's 'no score' at the 15th hole undid all his good work in securing 21 points on the front nine and restricted his scoring across the back nine to 20 points for his runners up prize.

Andrew Millar also signed for 41 points and had Senior Cowdy team captain Richard Black wondering had he made the right decision to list the young Killylea man as a reserve in the match against Concra Wood on the very same day. But Richard no doubt will claim he called it correctly in team selection with County Armagh taking 29.5 of the 32 available points against their border club neighbours.

Andrew, meantime, with a one under par round, secured with a birdie 2 at the 9th hole, will also have been satisfied with his first prize in Category 1. Shea Smith's 39 points earned him runners up.

Paul Kelly with 38 points, picked up the top prize in Category 2 - his score one better than David Grimley's 37 points.

And Brendan Lynch was best in Category 3 with 38 points, again one better than runner up Brian Cleland who produced a massive 24 points from the back nine holes.

David Gimley collects his son David's prize after he won the Complete Living Solutions sponsored Sunday stableford competition at County Armagh Golf Club. Captain Pat McAleavey makes the presentation and is joined by Paul Doyle, representing sponsors Complete Living Solutions, and other prize winners in the competition, Brendan Lynch, Andrew Millar and Alec Nesbitt.
