Finalist in golf and bowls

Fourteen-year-old Luke McBeatty has qualified for the finals in both golf and bowls at Everglades Country Club recently.

Club publicity officer Mr Ray Benton said Luke participated in the senior men's golf C grade match-play competition and the senior men's bowls minor singles championship qualifying to the final in both competitions.

"In the golf event, Luke was defeated by one of Everglades' golf heavy-weights Glen White four to three," Mr Benton said.

"In the bowls, Luke reversed this result by defeating club veteran Stan Johnson 31 to 28 in a gripping and exciting game.

"Luke's win added to his bowls championships having previously been a member of the victorious Major Fours champions' side.

"Luke plays for the A team in the Grade 6 side in the Central Coast pennant competition."
