The drinks were on Picton golfer Jack Evans, who claimed the main prize when the 82nd Dewar Cup and Marlborough Stroke Championships were staged at the Picton Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday.

The Dewar Cup is a nett competition for every player over 36 holes, the winner receiving a large bottle of the sponsor's product, while the Marlborough stroke is a gross competition competed for in grades, also over 36 holes.

The Dewar Cup was first played for at the Picton Golf Club in 1935 after the cup was presented to the Picton Golf Club from the Dewar Whiskey Company in Perthshire, Scotland. It has been played for every year since except for the years during World War 2.

The 50-strong field, who came from as far afield as Hamilton and Queenstown, enjoyed excellent playing conditions on both days.
