Golf Union to host two major C’ships
The Sri Lanka Men’s Open Championship from January 20 to 23 was first
played in 1970. The then noteworthy golfers were Pin Fernando, Dr. Lance
Fernando and Chrisso Abeywardena who were not only great players but
actively promoted golf.
This championship was open to professional and amateur golfers. The
leading amateurs played alongside caddies and this championship became a
regular event in the SLGU golfing calendar.

to all amateur lady golfers who are members of a recognised golf club
and have certified LGU, USGA or Club Handicap.
