County Armagh says thank-you to club sponors

County Armagh Golf Club Captains' John Flack and Hilary Johnston paid tribute to the club's many sponsors for their support during the past year.

Numerous local companies and businesses who sponsor club competitions were represented on Sponsors Day, and both the Mens' and Ladies Captain's took the opportunity to say a big thank-you to them all.

Rollins Insurance Brokers provided the financial support the now annual event which includes a stableford competition before an evening of fine dining by the club's Green Room Restaurant and entertainment.

As ever the prizes were eagerly contested, and with the course in excellent condition, impressive scoring was essential to secure a prize.

Damien Smyth from Complete Living Solutions produced the day's best score - 41 points - for the top prize. Young Barry Scully representing Rices Supermarket Ltd, was runner up with 40 points and Ted Atkinson representing Ol Flowers took third prize with 39 points. Jeff Tosh from Armagh City Hotel and Tim Taylor, representing WD Irwin & Sons, both scored 37 points wand took 4th and 5th prizes respectively on countback.

Anne Attwell, representing McKinney Timber Products, was the top lady scorer on the day with 35 points, narrowly winning ahead of Ronnie Toal who also returned 35pts. Past Lady Captain Paula McCrory, representing Sterling House, picked up third with 34 points and also the prize for nearest the pin. Kathleen Mallon was fourth and Anne McDonald 5th.

The prize for the Longest Drive was won by Johnny Brown, representing Armagh Potato Co Ltd.

The past lady captains of County Armagh Golf Club got together a few months ago to organise a club classic for the ladies branch. A lot of hard work went into the organising of this event and it was decided to have a four ball classic with two scores counting on all holes except the 6 th the 12 th and the 18 th when three scores would count. Just to make it more interesting each team was asked to play a yellow ball and there was a prize for the team with the best score for the yellow ball.

Over 70 ladies played for the fantastic array of prizes which were sourced by the following people including current club members. Raymond Donnelly from Donnelly Motors got a fourball in Concra Wood. Ann Conlon got a fourball in Rossapenna. The Slieve Russell fourball was secured by Ann Mone and Hilary Johnston got a fourball from The Heritage and Kilkeel. On behalf of the ladies branch I would like to thank the above people for their willingness to help out.

The following prize winners will be going to play on these wonderful courses. The top team on the day with 73 points was Hilary Johnston, Moya Brady, Anne McDonald and Carmel Cassidy who go to Kilkeel. Runner up with 70 points was Paula McCrory, Fionnuala Quinn, Lorraine Megaw and Rea Haughey who go to the Heritage. Third place was Barbara Gartland's team of Teresa McVeigh, Valerie Gordon, Sheila Hughes and Toni McManus with 69 who are off to the Slieve Russell. Fourth place was the team captained by Flo McCall, Joy Steenson, Lilly McMullan and Gillian Poole who are playing in Concra Wood. The Yellow ball competition was collected by June Humpheries team with Ellen Brady Mary Black and Gail Steed and they are off to the North West to play Rossapenna.

In a packed clubhouse on Wednesday night one of the past Lady Captains Sadie Scott, who was captain in 1976, was asked to present the prizes to the various winners. Sadie received a very warm reception from the ladies and presented the prizes to the winners.
