Sizzling sixty wins Neil Bumble Bee Cup

NEIL Linton's sizzling hot nett 60 had him buzzing in celebration with the winning score in the annual Bumble Bee Cup competition at County Armagh.

The Killylea man and eight handicapper was four shots better than the rest of the field on the day - club secretary Paddy Burns his nearest challenger with an impressive nett 64.

A birdie start set the tone for Neil and with a further two birdies at the 7th and 8th holes, he was two under at the turn. Apart from one further dropped shot at the 12th hole, which he compensated for with a birdie three at the 18th, it was all but a perfect back nine.

Alistair Harrison from WD Irwin Aggretates, competition sponsors, presented the Bumble Bee Cup to Neil to warm applause from a packed clubhouse.

Paddy Burns picked up the runners up prize after an impressive round which included birdie twos at the 7th and 11th holes.

In-form Kieran Grimley was back in the prizes with a nett 65 winning Category 1 - birdie twos at the 9th and 13th holes adding to his winnings. And Shea Smyth picked up the category runners up prize with a nett 67.

Paddy Hicks nett 65 was the best in Category 2, with Pat Kelly a shot behind on nett 66 taking the runners up prize.

And Rodney Villiers deservedly picked up the Category 3 top prize with a nett 67, ahead of Brendan Lynch on nett 68.

Adam lifts PGA Cup

ADAM Hunniford will represent County Armagh Golf Club in the Professional Golfers Association Cup competition later this season after winning the local event.

The nine handicapper returned the best stableford score - 40 points - to win the competition which was kindly sponsored by the Armagh Potato Co Ltd.

Henry Lyttle will feel hard done by after returning the same top score but had to concede to Adam on a better back nine count-back. Failing to score at the 4th hole ultimately cost handyman Henry.

Philip Kelly's 39 points won the Category 1 first prize with Tom Calvert, who despite penciling a 'no-score' at the 6th hole, took the runners up prize with 38 points.

Competition's Convenor David Baird's birdie 2 at the 13th hole was the difference between winning the Category 2 first prize and taking runners up which Paul McCreesh had to settle for after returning the same 39 points and losing out on countback.

Brian Liddy returned 38 points to claim the first prize in Category 3 where Brian Cleland was runner up with 37points.

Stewart Stevenson shot the day's best gross points score - 34.

Adam Hunniford is congratulated by County Armagh Golf Club Captain Pat McAleavey after winning the PGA Cup competition, sponsored by Armagh Potato Company Ltd. Included also are category winners Philip Kelly, David Baird, Henry Lyttle and Tom Calvert

STUDENT Caolan Doyle lifted the prestigious Hirsch Cup at County Armagh after a superb winning round for a magnificent seven under par nett 63 score.

The historic trophy is the Swiss Ladies Open Championship Cup which was won by County Armagh's most famous lady golfer Maisie Hirsch, and presented to the club in 1938. Maisie also won the Swiss Open in 1923 and presented that trophy to the club when her father Henry, a former club captain, died in 1950. Today it is played for annually in the club's popular Tuesday Cup competition.

Netstretch Ltd now annually sponsor the Hirsch Cup competition and city IT Business Manager Cormac Knott presented the trophy - to Paul Doyle, collecting it on behalf of son Caolan who was unfortunately unable to attend the prizegiving.

It was every bit deserving after topping a field of more than 140 golfers. The 11-handicapper was just three over par after nine holes and dropped only one further shot over the back nine holes to record that magnificent 63 nett score. That impressive back nine included a birdie 2 at the 11th hole and will undoubtedly be looked back on as the winning hole for Caolan.

It was obviously a day for the 'young ones' as student Niall Brady too chalked up his season's best score to date to take the runners up prize. Playing off a handicap of just six, Niall impressively returned a nett 64 from a round which included birdies at seventh and 14th holes.

Another six-handicapper, Adrian Woods's penciled an eagle on his card at the par five 12th hole on his way to claiming the best Category One score on the day - a nett 67. It was a shot better than Niall McGeown who returned a nett 68 for the runners up prize.

Barry Scully's nett 66 and better back nine earned him the Category 2 first prize ahead of Paul McCreesh who also returned the same nett 66 score.

And Tom Donnelly's nett 66 was the best in Category 3 where Jim Carberry claimed the runners up prize with a nett 68.

Paul Doyle is presented with the Hirsch Cup by Cormac Knott from NetStretch Web Design, who sponsored the annual stroke competition at County Armagh Golf Club. Included also is Club Captain Pat McAleavey and runners up Adrian Woods, Tom Donnelly and Paul McCreesh

TERRY Chin collected his first County Armagh Golf Club Championship Medal after a winning round and top score nett 66.

A double bogey and bogey at the first and second holes gave little indication this would be a winning round for Terry. But a steady stream of pars before another double bogey at the par three 9th hole left him five over par at the turn.

On the homeward trek the 14 handicapper dropped a similar five shots but his second half performance which included a birdie at the par five 12th hole was enough to secure the coveted medal from runner-up Roy Turner who also returned a nett 66.

Ten handicapper Roy's level par front nine which included a birdie 3 at the 6th hole, was followed up by a six over par back nine to secure the runner's up prize which will no doubt be put to good use on is present tour of Portugal.

Andrew Dunwoody led home the category prize winners with a nett 67, taking the Category One first prize - a level par back nine winning it from Kieran Grimley who returned a similar nett 67.

Winston Gordon's nett 68 claimed first prize in Category 2 ahead of Richard Stewart also on nett 68.

And in Cateogry 3 George Monaghan topped the prize list with a nett 68, winning on countback with Eamon Toner.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Pat McAleavey presents the April Medal to Terry Chin. Included also are runners up in the competition John Maguire, Eamon Toner and Winston Gordon
