2013
Cathal is out the traps strongly and wins the first two Squires' majors from the off; a superb performance at two of Donegal's finest hidden gems, the very quirky Narin & Portnoo and tough Portsalon. Kevski scored solidly around Rosapenna Old Tom Morris fo collect the third major and a well deserved win by two strokes from Neil. But Neil then comes home strongly the following day at the magnificent Rosapenna Sandy Hills; a great finish in the baking heat with all his scores bettering each days' previous tally.
2014
Scotty is off the mark after a very close run affair at the very tough Adare, winning by 1 point from three other squires. Stee goes low around the wonderful Lahinch Old, romping to a superb win, 4 shots ahead of Kevski - helped by a superb eagle at the 12th hole of this world famous links. Scotty then makes it two wins in three, with a great final round at Doonbeg to seal victory by 2 shots from Bazza.
2015
Squire broke his duck at the 8th time of asking with a close head-to-head battle and 2 shot win over Cathal at Ballybunion Cashen. Cathal continued his good form the following day and wins his third major by 1 shot from Stee after a close contest at high-profile Ballybunion Old. And Scotty wins his 3rd major out of the last 6 and maybe the closest in recent years at Tralee with a best inward half from debutant Pricey.
2016
Squire repeats 2015 all over again and wins the first major of the weekend at Gullane No. 2, his second in 2 years. But again, it didn't come easy as he needed a better inward half to pip Rossco. A similar story unfolded round Gullane No. 1 in the second round of the weekend as Cathal picked up his 4th major title with a career-best round. The most incredible all round scoring was seen at Gullane No. 3 where Gordie, playing in his sixth major, won by 1 shot from Eamo, Robbo and Boycey with eight men within only 2 more shots!
2017
Gordie sets the heather alight at Glasgow Gailes on his way to winning an impressive second major in a row. His 2 shot win from debutant Colin also helps Gordie to his second major in only 7 Squires rounds. Colin was to have better luck the following day with a great performance around Western Gailes to land his first major by 3 shots from Mick. Stee, making his Squires return after a 1 year absence scores solidly at Dundonald in what was the largest Squires field to date to pick up his 2nd major. It was a close-run affair with new boy Baz losing out by only 1 shot.
2018
Rosses Point was the first track of ST18 and there couldn't have been a more appropriate winner than Rossco himself. This first time major winner braved the toughest conditions the Squires have faced to date, to pip Peshi by a shot. Eamo was another first time major winner on his 6th consecutive Squires appearance with some great shooting around Strandhill to edge out Colin on the back nine, another very close finale. Similar drama was seen at the third venue of ST18, Enniscrone, as Neil powered to his 2nd major with his first achieved 5 years earlier in Donegal! This time he shades it by a shot from Squire and Scotty.
2019
The scoring at Carnoustie Burnside must have been the most bunched in Squires' history with only 12 points separating first and last. It was Boycey who shot a fantastic 38pts to win his first Squires' major by 1 shot from Matt. On to the Championship Course at Carnoustie, the most prestigious course the Squires have played to date. Bazza built on good scoring the first day to shoot a fantastic 35pts to win his first major at the 15th attempt, pipping Pricey by 1 shot. On to day 3 and again the scoring was superb, if not riddiculous; Colin picks up his 2nd major with an incredible 42pts, 2 ahead of Baz who will feel unlucky after also scoring heavily round Carnoustie Buddon. Quite incredible golf this year at Carnoustie!
2021
ST21 was a year of low Stableford scoring due to the difficulty of the tracks but it was Colin who picked up the day 1 prize at Castlerock shooting 31pts to pip Gordie by 2 shots and collect his 2nd major in a row. On to Ballyliffin itself and the Old Course and we had a first time winner in Robbo who shot 30pts to claim first place by two from Colin. Day 3 was Ballyliffin Glashedy, regarded as the hardest track the lads have played, but it didn't stop Baz picking up his first Squires major - the Dublin man shot 29pts to beat Squire by a single shot.
2022
Back to Scotland and it was Baz who finished where he left of at ST21, picking up his 2nd major in a row at Mach Dunes, shooting 38pts - but only by a whisker as he beats Bazza on best back 6! The Squires were back to Mach Dunes for the 2nd round of the weekend and this time it was Stee who made amends for round one as he shot 32pts to beat Squire by 2 shots and pick up his 3rd major. Final day was Machrihanish Old and the Squires had a first time winner in Pricey who produced a fantastic 39pts to win the day by 5 shots, a new Squires major-winning margin, to make it a Paddy clean sweep at ST22!
2023
Scotland again for ST23 and it was home boy Gordie who prevailed at North Berwick West Links with a 2 over par and mammoth 40pts pipping Scotty by a point. On to Kilspindie and incredibly Kev picks up his 2nd major 10 years after his first with a 1 shot win, his 37pts beating Boothy by 1 stroke in strong winds. The Squires made their 2nd visit to Gullane 3 by default due the closure of The Glen GC and unbelievably, it was Gordie who won round this track once again, this time in horrific conditions. A very solid 34pts was enough to beat fellow low man Colin by a single shot. A strong 2 major haul for Gordie who shoots up to T1 in the major winner charts!
2024
The Rosapenna return and it was an exciting prospect to see who would prevail this time. The Sandy Hills major went to Gordie who collected an incredible and record breaking 5th major, and also his first in Ireland! A 3 birdie bonanza helped him to 30pts and a comfortable 3 shot win over Pricey. On to the 'best new course in the world' St. Patricks Links and much birdie sauce anticipation for the Squires. Hardly any were had but Gordie prevailed for the win yet again with a cracking 36pts pipping Squire this time, by 2 shots. Yet another record broken here as Gordie suddenly wins the Squires' Tiger Slam on top of the Squires' Grand Slam! No end to the drama, but a more subdued 3rd round ensued as the Squires had to battle some tough conditions round Old Tom Morris. It didn't deter Carlo, who picked up a very much deserved first major at his 22nd attempt, again pipping Squire but only with a best last 3 holes! An incredible ST with all majors collected by Seniors.
Summary
