Everglades team wins charity day

Four members of the Everglades Country Club won the Red Cross Charity Golf Day at Tuggerah Lakes Golf Club on May 3.

Scott Cook, Karryn Flynn, Ken Powell and Dave Rooney won the 18-hole mixed fours Ambrose competition against more than 80 competitors.

"My son has haemophilia and I have always supported the Red Cross for what they do for the haemophilia community," said team member Ms Flynn.

"The clotting factor that is required by all those with haemophilia is taken from the donations of blood donors.

"I heard about the golf day through local radio and was able to organise a day off to play. "The others in our team were keen to support the Red Cross along with enjoying a day on the golf course.

"This is the first year our team has played in the Red Cross Charity Golf Day organised by the Avoca branch of the Red Cross and we plan to play again next year and bring along a lot more members of the Everglades Country Club."

Ms Flynn said fellow team mate Mr Dave Rooney also won the major raffle prize on the day donated by various local businesses and individuals.

She said Everglades Country Club members also took out the men's division at the charity golf event.
