Golf: NDB Junior Tournament on August 14

On August 14, NDB Private Wealth Management will tee off its inaugural Junior Masters golfing tournament at the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC), providing Sri Lanka's young golfing community a platform to exercise their competitive spirit and display their skill in the world of golf.   “Playing competitive golf requires similar thinking to business and financial management. There are elements of planning, dedication, foresight, calculation and driving ambition. Which is why it's great to see the younger generation cultivating these qualities early in life through competitive golf,” stated the CEO of NDB Wealth Management, Prabodha Samarasekera.   The tournament is divided into three categories, which are The Gold Division for Under-18, Silver Division for Under-15 and Bronze Division for Under-11.   Winners of each division will be awarded an NDB Wealth Account worth Rs. 100,000 and the runners-up in each division will be awarded an NDB Wealth Account worth Rs. 100,000.   The runners-up in each division will receive an NDB Wealth account worth Rs. 50,000.   However, everyone will walk home a winner because all participants will receive an NDB wealth account of their own worth Rs. 5,000 as well a complimentary gift bag filled with branded golf goodies.   “This is a first for NDB Private Wealth Management and probably the beginning of something new and exciting in the world of Junior Golf. It is also a great way for both young players and their parents to connect with the brand NDB Private Wealth Management for a better understanding of the financial planning services we offer for the whole family,” Samarasekara added.   Managing Director of Pro Golf, Chandana Weerasinghe who is spearheading the promotion of NDB Wealth's PWM Junior Masters said: “It's wonderful to see NDB Wealth's commitment to supporting and building Junior Golf in Sri Lanka which will further help develop players of an international level in future. This sort of assistance is welcome and we look forward to more support from corporate sector to help build the game.”   Entries are now open and will close on August 11.
