Billimoria Shines
A champion of yesteryear Pferoze Billimoria maintains form and class. He is striking the ball superbly and in recent months his performances have been exceptional. On Saturday last week he was in cracking form with a gross par round and his nett 66 was far too good for any other player in the “A” Class. He picked a handsome Senok Trophy beating Tissa Jayasinghe who was commendable with nett 69.

Jayasekera Excels
Ananda Jayasekera opened his house wide to entertain well wishers after a star performance in the “B” Division. A long hitting strong striker he slammed a smartly compiled nett 67 to take the “B” Classic beating the “Hulk” Janak Hirdaramani by 2 strokes. Janak had good reasons to beam all evening, ready to talk and provide shot by shot descriptions of his performance. The century zone had 6 filtering in with Deanath Kulatunga leading the way with an error riddled 104. The confetti factory had patronage from 4 with Mihindu Chandrasena making the most colourful pack.

Bright Johnpillai
Kamalesh Johnpillai is showing much evidence of improved golf. He came pretty good with a scintillating nett 65 to smash his way to take the “C” Class. Deepal Weerasekera completed a classy round with the best gross score of 89. His nett 68 placed him 2nd but he was first at the Guvnor”s lighting up the 19th with a fun group of pals. 4 others played great rounds of nett 69 each with Roy Anthony celebrating most – the others were Glen Matthew, Vinod Hirdramani and Dyan Peiris. They too jammed the 19th hole. The disaster zone was loaded to capacity with almost 4 dozen players raising hell and cracking error riddled centuries. They punished the course and later punished themselves merrily at the glorious 19th.

Senior Thabrew
Ranjit Thabrew has come to stay as a mature senior. He comes good often and on the last occasion he struck nett 74 to beat Ken Sellayah and collect a few pats on the back.

Masters
T.A. Weerasinghe was master of the outing. He handled the round in style and came off with an excellent 4 under par nett 67 to receive a massive round of applause. W.H. Lee tied with Weerasinghe with a great round but his rear nine was not good enough to dislodge Weerasinghe.
