HSBC 5 Club Stableford Golf tournament to tee off in style

The HSBC 5-Club Stableford Golf Tournament will take place at the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC) on September 18 and 20. The tournament organised for the fifteenth consecutive year, will be open to HSBC Premier customers and to all members of the men's section and ladies section of the Royal Colombo Golf Club with a valid handicap.

The first Stableford Golf Tournament was sponsored by HSBC with a shot-gun start in 1994 and was subsequently changed to a 5-Club Tournament in 1998. "This has been and will continue to be a flagship event of HSBC and we hope that our customers will enjoy the event and experience the traditional HSBC hospitality," said Sarit Wijeyekoon, Head of Personal Financial Services, HSBC.

The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, September 20 at the RCGC premises, and all category winners will be awarded with fabulous prizes. The highlight of the event is that the overall winner will be hosted by the Bank to attend the HSBC Champions Tournament, held once a year in November 2009.

World Number 1 Tiger Woods and defending Champion Sergio Garcia have already confirmed their entries in the world-class field.
