Avinesh a bright star

Avinesh Naresh-Kumar stepped into the limelight just recently to be identified as an immensely talented rising star in the teenage category. Coaxed unendingly by his Dad and occasionally patted on the back by Uncle Nimmo, the kid takes the game seriously chasing success energetically.

His career has been rewarding and with each outing the kid moves into small degrees of maturity. Just recently playing in the company of seasoned campaigners, he moved into top shelf golf in the tough N’Eliya’s course to capture the handsome Hitachi Trophy and a Golden Putter. He was cheered loudly and patted for a splendid performance. Avinesh finds N’Eliya comfortable, the Victoria at Digana quite challenging and on his home course at the Ridgeways, the boy is happiest.

The Sri Lanka Golf Union in preparation for the development of young talent chose Avinesh to participate in the British Junior Championship. He will leave for the UK very soon with our good wishes for every success.

Undoubtedly the most popular golfing event in the Royal Colombo calendar is the Mercedes Benz Tournament sponsored by DIMO. This year it proves to be a bigger splash with Q&E, the below the line advertising specialists, behind a superbly planned promotion. Ranjit Pandithage beams with delight promising a helluva extravagant party on the 19th.
