County Armagh Golf Club joined in with the spirit of Augusta by hosting a 9-Hole Masters competition for Ladies and Gents on 12 April, which was kindly sponsored by Iron Designs, Armagh. Paul McKeown from Iron Designs helped Club Captain, Kenny Edgar, to present the prizes to winners (L-R) Paul Kelly, Jarlath McReynolds, Paula McCrory and Kieran Donnelly.

Magnolia Lane was replaced by Lady Anne's Walk. The patrons were mere punters. The victors had to be content with vouchers for the Pro Shop (where Will stocks high-quality jackets of various shades). The presentation ceremony was conducted not by CBS's Jim Nantz but by CAGC's very own anchorman, Shea Brady. And the closest we have to Tiger Woods is a near namesake in the form of Adrian or Oliver.

The forward tees and preferred lies currently in operation undoubtedly boost the potential for formidable scoring at County Armagh Golf Club.

The gloriously sunny and calm conditions on the weekend of 6-7 April, then, merely lent an extra helping hand to those competing for the CP McNabb Trophy.

However, the good golf still has to be played, and leading the way in this regard was new member Ryan Runnette, who posted 21 points on each nine to fend off all comers and clinch the first silverware of the embryonic 2019 season.

Ryan Runnette collects the CP McNabb Trophy from County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Kenny Edgar. Also pictured are other prizewinners (L-R) Stewart Hall, Rodney Lynas, Paul Traynor, John Maguire and Gerry Cullen.

Hopes of play at County Armagh Golf Club over the St Patrick's Day weekend were scuppered by wretched, miserable weather. And in any case, any on-course action would likely have been overshadowed by the coinciding re-opening of the superbly refurbished clubhouse bar and restaurant.

However, the hackers and the heroes, the wonder-kids and the all-too-experienced did return to the hallowed city fairways a week later, when Ian Ritchie topped the pile in a Club Stableford event.

The two-day nature of competitive proceedings on 23-24 March offered everyone a couple of bites at the prizewinning cherry, as each player's best weekend performance would be considered in the final reckoning. But Ian's 46-point Saturday super-show proved without compare.

The off-season circumstances of green markers and preferred lies obviously aid scoring, but good numbers still come necessarily hard-earned at this time of year.

In that regard, a birdie at the 9th concluded Ritchie's bountiful 23-point outward haul, before the same hefty total on the back nine confirmed both stableford victory and the 16-handicapper's rust-free status despite the winter hiatus.

Ian's closest challenger was Paddy Digby, whose tremendous gross 69 featured birdies at the 3rd, 7th and 15th. The accruing 44 points saw Digby deservedly take his place in the weekend's overall runner-up berth.
