Big hitting Nigel is back in the prizes

Consistency was the name of the game for big-hitting Nigel McMahon on Sunday when he collected his second stableford competition win in a month with 42 points.

High winds made conditions difficult for most, but 'Onion' played a very steady round to secure 20 points on the front nine and add a further 22 on the back. His birdie three at the 15th hole accompanied with a half-dozen pars on the homeward trek was enough to clinch it ahead of Martin Murphy who also carded an impressive 42 points. Martin will however, rue his 'no-score' at the 10th hole, especially when a birdie three at the very difficult 16th was recorded.

Oisin Toner was another to rack up a score of 42 points on the day, 21 front and back, followed closely by Peter Murtagh with 41 points. And bringing up the rear was Danny Maxwell on 40 points.

Culub Stableford Sat 19th Feb 11

1st J Lowe                       43pts

2nd C McElroy                   42pts (best back nine)

3rd G Hughes                    42pts (best back six)

4th D Spratt                      42pts

5th I Brown                       41pts (best back one)

Lowe and behold ...

John Lowe made the most of the excellent weather conditions on Saturday to win the Stableford competition with 43 points.

Underfoot it was very damp indeed, but a spring sunshine and light breeze made for a pleasant round, and in John's case, a winning one.

A string of pars over the front nine was marred only by a double bogey at the par-five eighth hole. But that single point for 21 points on the outward trek was to prove crucial at the end. A birdie 4 at the next par five set him on his way to 22 points over the back nine and together his 21 and 22 points respectively proved to be the winning score.

Just a point behind on 42 was Colm McElroy and it was his better back nine which edged the runners up prize ahead G Hughes, a winner last week. Another previous winner of recent weeks, Davy Spratt, returned a similar 42 points to claim fourth prize. And single figure handicapper I Brown collected the final prize of the day with 41 points - a birdie three at the last hole securing that for him.

It has been decided that no results shall be published for Week 5 or Week 6 of the Spring Team Competition.

At present The G Hacks Captained by Geraldine Rafferty are out in front but they can be caught by either the Enigmas or the Orchard Maidens. The next two weeks results are vital and it is all to play for. Discount the other Teams at your peril because very little separates them. One good team result and it all opens up.

In the Individual Competition things are getting very close and the final outcome will be dependant not only on the next two weeks scores but also on what score will be dropped. The favourites at present are Catherine Corrigan, Moya Brady, Dawn Boyd, Brigid Mc Eneaney and Eileen Steenson but you never know who could come out of the woodwork.

Spring League replaced by team and stableford competitions 

Club Competitions Convenor Davy Baird has been forced to cancel the Spring League.

But local golfers will still get their winter fix with Team and Stableford competitions replacing the League which was hit by inclement weather and course closure over the past two week-ends.

This week-end, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 February, separate Stableford competitions will be played each day.

On Saturday 26 Feb, there will be a Two Ball Scramble. A Stableford competition will be played on Sunday 27 February.

Saturday 5th March will be a Four-Ball Classic event with Sunday March 6 a Stableford competition.

And on Saturday 12 March there will be a Mens Greensomes competition - the first at the club in quite some time. Sunday 13 March will again be a Stableford competition.

Ian top of the class for stableford win

School teacher Ian Millar delivered a 'par-ful' lesson to win Saturday's Stableford competition. Eleven pars and a birdie two at the ninth hole chalked up 44 winning points for his round.

The 13-handicapper was well on his way by the half-way stage with 24 points on his card, and he continued the good form over the homeward trek to add a further 20 points.

Just a point behind on 43 was G Hughes whose 22 points front nine included birdies at the sixth and eighth holes. Continued consistent scoring on the back nine added a further 21 points to deservedly secure second prize on the day.

Colm Shannon claimed third prize with 42 points, birdies at the sixth and 18th holes the highlight of his round.

And Ian O'Hea snatched fourth prize with 41 points, virtue of a birdie three at the 18th hole which left George Gillespie picking up the final prize of the day with a similar 41 points.

Prizes can be collected in the Pro Shop.

Closure of the course on Sunday due to torrential rain overnight, has inevitably led to Competitions Convenor Davy Baird reconsidering the format of the twice postponed Spring League. Details are not yet known but will be announced later in the  week. Watch this space!
