Golfers win cup, bowl and plate

The annual Everglades Cup, Bowl and Plate golf competition was held on November 10.

Over 200 players entered the competition despite the early threat of rain.

Everglades Men's Golf President Mr Ian Elliot said the weather cleared to a fine day of golf for the competition.

"The day also saw the opening of the new green on the seventh hole," Mr Elliot said.

"Club champion Jamie Stephen teed off in the second group of the day and posted a par round of 68, having lipped out for birdies on 16, 17 and 18.

"Jamie now holds the Everglades Cup and course record."

Brett Parker of Tuggerah Lakes took out second place.

"The bowl was also hotly contested with Ross Yuille on 80 managing to hold out Shannon Verkade on 81.

"The plate was an even closer affair with both Dave Rooney and Ken Powell returning 89 and then going an extra hole to determine the winner.

"Dave proved too strong in the playoff and took the plate for the year."
