Conlon's an Open Champion

Conlon Rice readily admits his golfing successes have been few of late, but he was celebrating a major triumph in the County Armagh Open Stableford competition.

The Keady man picked up first prize in the Holmes and Doran Surveyors Ltd, Armagh sponsored event which was held during Open Week at the city venue.

His 44 stableford points - ultimately secured with a birdie three at the 15th hole - was one better than the rest of the field.

The young city baker Andrew Allen had a winning recipe for second prize with 43 points and Paddy Duffy picked up third prize with 41 points in the first of the week's competitions which saw him cut three shots!

Brian Anderson was a new face among the prizes winning on countback with 40 points ahead of Jarleth McReynolds and Kyle Johnston who also returned 40points.

Despite the inclement weather, Open Week was once again hailed a huge success, with considerable numbers turning out for the various competitions.

The Home @ Frasers, Armagh sponsored Open Stroke competition was won by Richard Stewart with a nett 65. Four players returned scores of nett 66 behind him and had to be separated on countback. They were, in winning order, Stuart Lee, Declan McReynolds, Shea Brady and Jonathan Black. And Andy Conn picked up sixth with a netr 67, winning on a back nine countback.

Wrapping up the week's events, The Open Mixed Greemsomes - sponsored by the Insurance Partnership, Armagh - was dominated by the McReynolds family. Jarleth, along with Aideen Canavan produced the winning score, nett 66 ahead of dad Declan and sister Eadoin McReynolds on a nett 66.5.

Iggy and Kathleen Mallon came ever so close with a nett 67 to take third prize. And the Best Gross score on the day was Roy Montgomery and Lily McMullen from Killymoon with a gross 79.

Gary laps up Captain's Day prize win

GARY Lappin produced a hugely impressive winning score of 43 stableford points to take the County Armagh Golf Club Captain's prize.

And the margin of victory for the 15-handicapper might easily have been significantly more with 'no scores' at the sixth and 16th holes recorded on the winning card!

However, a trio of bridies and a par, par finish produced the day's best back-nine score of 23 points to go along with an impressive 20 points already chalked up on the front nine holes for that winning score.

"I knew I was in good shape when I reached the turn and after I birdied ten and 11 it was all going the right way," said Gary after he was presented with his prize by Club Captain Brendan Smith and wife Bernie.

"Another birdie at the 15th hole gave me another four points, but then I failed to score at the 16th - I honestly thought I had blown it then. I finished par, par and fortunately it was enough to win it. I'm absolutely delighted," added Gary.

A packed clubhouse applauded the young golfer who adds the Captain's Prize to his array of club wins. There was also congratulatory applause for runner-up Marty Daly who secured his prize with a score of 42 points. A 12-handicapper, Marty scored steadily throughout his round with 21 points amassed over front and back nines for his 42points score.

Three scores of 41 points took the Category Prizes. Six-handicapper Jim Wilson's one-over nett and 41 points won the 0-12 handicap category. John McKinney, who plays of 14, won the 13-18 handicap category and Hugh McEneaney (21) took the honours in the 19-28 handicap category.

In all 17 prizes were presented on the evening of celebration enjoyed by club members, guests and friends of Captain Smith. In his presentation speech he praised the many players - over 250 - who took part during the two days of the competition, and paid tribute to the club greenkeeper, convenors and officials, including secretary Damien Murray and competitions convenor Paddy Burns, for all their support throughout the year.

Patrick Brannigan (jnr) delivered a jovial response to the Club Captain's speech before the celebrations by al the prize winners began in earnest and continued into the wee small hours.

Frances in Front

A large turnout of lady golfers competed for the beautiful array of prizes on a sunny but showery day at County Armagh Lady Captain's Day on Saturday 28th July. The day commenced with the Lady Captain Paula McCrory welcoming her family and many guests to a very busy and enjoyable morning coffee. The hard working Ladies' Committee left no stone unturned to ensure the success of this event. As the ladies ventured out to play the sun shone on a well manicured course. Later a few showers dampened the fairways but not the enthusiasm of the lady golfers. Frances Davidson emerged as the winner with a nett 67. Elizabeth Mawhinney followed closely behind (nett 69). The gross prize was picked up by Teresa McVeigh (81). Front 9 winner was Joy Steenson and Sheila Stinson won the back 9. Category prizewinners were as follows: A: B. Rice, B: U. Cullinane, C: A. Murphy and D: J. Lappin. R. Grimley won the committee prize while B. Loughran won the Past Lady Captain's prize. T. McManus won the putting competition. D. Maxwell was the recipient of the men's prize. F. Cullen won the Juvenile Girls' prize with G. Carmichael in second position. C. Calvert came first in the Juvenile Boys' category with S. Reilly runner up. The presentation of prizes took place after a beautiful meal in a packed clubhouse when Lady Captain again made family and friends very welcome. H. McLaughlin proposed the vote of thanks to the Lady Captain and S. McRory seconded it. The celebrations concluded with music and dancing which continued until the wee small hours.
