will be in Scotland
Bandula Weerasinghe and Kumar Boralessa take wing soon to Scotland
to participate the Jaguar International Classic. Boralessa and Weerasinghe
qualified very successfully in the recent contest at the Ridgeways
when Entrepreneur Arthur Senanayake the dashing Chief Executive
of Jaguar Sri Lanka sponsored the event in extravagant style. Both
played excellent golf much deserving of the all expenses paid trip
to compete in a world event.
Boralessa
is over the moon. He is obviously delighted with the opportunity
to meet all the pals whose friendship he cultivated during their
visit to participate in teh125the Anniversary Celebrations of the
Royal Colombo. Of special importance will be meeting up with Harry
McCaw and if luck responds he may have the success of a meeting
with the Captain of the Royal & Ancient His Excellency the Duke
of York. Bandula Weerasinghe is thrilled to compete and he is at
the nets twice a day every day. He is hitting a great ball and appears
quite confident of some degree of success. Nilika his charming wife
will be there to cheer and support and to compensate Bandula has
offered her visits to the Shops & Boutiques of Oxford Street.
Fashionable Dushy has caught the infection but is undecided.
Stroke
play contest
The first stroke play competition in the new Royal Colombo
Calendar was completed last week when Bandula Weerasinghe once again
moved into recognition with a scintillating round of flashy golf.
He won the 'A' Division smartly beating young Binupa Wijesinghe
68-69.
Rahim
Shines
A.S. Rahim struck great form with an exciting and highly
commendable nett 63. He had pals round him when he decided to give
them shot by shot commentaries of his extremely successful performance.
Excellent
Rohan
Rohan Perera moved into a great round probably his best
ever. He had his game in full command and ended exceptionally well
on nett 67. He beamed all afternoon willing to talk if anybody was
willing to listen.
Masters
P.R. Balaratnarajah returned from exile to great performance
of well-calculated stroke play and miserly used strokes. I understand
there was jubilation in the domestic front. Majid Awn tried hard
and eventually slopped on nett 71.
Seniors
M.R. Thabrew was once again recognized for a rewarding
performance. He was delighted with his performance of nett 67 and
was agreeable to talk about the excellence of his performance. M.
Jameel came behind with nett 75.
Rumblings
It was unpleasant for some to find that chosen players
were partners and starting times of their choosing. Last year the
Vice Captain and some players' hope that the present Vice Captain
Ajantha Mylvaganam will correct this untidy situation and to please
all never arrested this situation. |
