The key focus of this event was to kick-start a much needed inter-school tournament that has always had a significant demand. In its second consecutive running this year, the inter-school golf tournament has soon become one of the most desirable events in Colombo’s golfing calendar.
Men, women and juniors with a club handicap are invited to contest in this tournament for prestigious golfing awards coupled with a host of attractive rewards and gifts. The event will be conducted in a ‘Big Match’ style atmosphere, with a live band and entertainment features keeping the participants enthused throughout the day. The tournament will conclude with the award ceremony which will be followed by an evening of cocktails.
