Richard's in the Black for professional's prize

RICHARD Black squeezed out the extra point on the back nine to take the honours in County Armagh Club Professional Alan Rankin's annual stableford competition.

With no less than four players returning top scores of 40points, the evenutal line-up of winners had to be determined in countback. And with 20 points - one more than each of his equals over the back nine holes - Richard claimed the prize.

Tom Calvert and John Lowe were second and third respectively. John however, will be cursing a 'no score' on the par three third hole while for Tom a single point at the par three 11th hole ultimately cost him the top prize.

Richard's winning 40 points was accumulated in not the easiest of windy and showery conditions. Steady scoring however, saw him register 20 points by the turn, and a similar score on the homeward trek proved to be a winning formula.

'Uncle Tom' Calvert was just two over gross after nine holes bringing home 21 points, but bogey's at the 12 and 14th holes, and a hattrick of bogeys to finish restricted him to a further 19 points.

Handicap Convenor's asistant John Lowe might have been way ahead of the field at the half-way stage had he not failed to score at the third hole, but his double-bogey at 14 added to his demise and third prize.

Keith Stewart was the other golfer to return a top score of 40 points and it earned him first prize in the 13-18 handicap category. Runner up was Colin Gmable on 39 points.

Gervase Hughes led home the low handicappers with 39 points. Alec Nesbitt was runner up, but spare a thought for Kyle Wilson who finished with 39 points, failed to sign his card and was disqualified!

Benny Simpson's 38 points secured first prize in the 19-28 handicap category with Oision McKee runner up on 37 points.

And for a second week running, Conor McGurgan picked up the Best Gross prize with 35 gross points.

Declan's a Medal winner

DECLAN McReynolds produced his best round of the season to win the County Armagh Golf Club August Medal with an impressive score nett 64.

Paul Corvan's double bogey at the par three 13th hole was his ultimate undoing when countback was required to separate the nett 64 scores both he and Declan declared.

Just two over par at the half-way stage, 11-handicapper Declan dropped only a further three shots on his homeward trek for his winng score.

Fourteen handicapper Paul was just three over par at the turn, but as well as that unlucky double bogey at 13, he dropped shots at 15, 16 and 18.

Early-bird Andrew Millar led home the Category winners with a nett 65 and better back nine securing him first prize in Category 1 ahead of George Bradshaw who returned the same score.

In the mid-handicap catetory it was another early-bird Colm McElroy who claimed first prize ahead of Jim McKeown, again countback was required to separate the two nett 66 scores.

And Leslie Lynas's nett 65 for a win in Category 3, where Colm O'Farrel was runner up on nett 66, secured his place in the Club Championship come next month.

Brian's pick of the crop!

Brian Wilson was pick of the crop in the Armagh Potato Company Ltd sponsored open stableford competition at County Armagh.

'Red', as his playing partners know him, produced the winning score in the Saturday competition - 41 points - on what many found a difficult track with swirling winds also wrecking havoc.

He 'dug-out' five pars on the opening front nine to 'gather' 20 points, and a further five pars plus a birdie three at the 17th hole saw him store another 21 points for a total barrowful of 41 points.

It was a whole furrow or point more than the rest of the field - Francis Tallon from Lurgan Golf Club was the next best spademan with 40 points and a better back nine than third placed Paddy Digby who returned the same score.

Killylea man Brian Loney boiled a up 40 points for his fourth place finish with Don McKee fifth on 39 points, his back nine proving better than that of another 39 pointer, Andrew Clarke, in sixth place. And Anthony Fagan had a tasty 38 points to take the final prize.

Gross Prize were won by Lugan Golf Club visitor Michael McSherry on 35 gross points with Conor McGurgan second on 34 gross points.
