The Commander’s Cup Golf Tournament 2023, the premier event in the golfing calendar, and the 10th version, will unravel next weekend at the Air Force Eagles’ Golf Links and Courses (AFEGLC), hosted by the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF), in the spectacular Eagles’ Golf Links in China Bay, Trincomalee.
This will be the 10th iteration of the tournament, which commenced in 2013, and this milestone event is being set together under the guidance of the Commander of SLAF and Chairman of the AFEGLC, Air Marshal Sudarshana Pathirana. More than 100 male and female golfers from across the country and around the world have actively signed up for the tournament.
The Eagles’ Challenge Trophy, which will be accorded to the top performer among serving members of the armed services, will be up for grabs in addition to the major trophy.
The tournament will be powered by Dialog Enterprise, who’s really alluding as the exclusive main sponsor for the third consecutive year and highlighting the positive approach to optimising golf in the country. Moreover, Trinco Blu by Cinnamon and JAKB Beach Resort and Spa will join hands with the tournament as hospitality partners, offering golfers a special rate unique to this tournament.
As the Commander’s Cup Golf Tournament embraces its 10th year this year, SLAF and Dialog Enterprise have extended their generous hands together to assist the Trincomalee community through a series of community service responsibility initiatives. Accordingly, three schools — Trincomalee Girls’ High School, Kinniya, Ravaneshwaran Tamil School and Nalanda Vidyalaya China Bay will each receive brand new computers and accessories for the IT laboratory and high speed internet connectivity as courtesy of Dialog Enterprise, while much needed infrastructure renovations will be carried out by the SLAF.
