S M Jiffry Abdeen - Kandy Sports Corre.

South African couple Hendrick Post and Zandria Post put up a fine display to win the annual Texas Scramble Golf championship 2011 sponsored by the Victoria Golf and Country Resort and worked at the beautiful Victoria Golf Course at Rajawella off Kandy on Saturday.

This was Hendrick’s and Zandria’s first appearance at Victoria after they arrived in Sri Lanka to work at the Norochcholai Power Plant in Puttalam.

The beautiful couple were thrilled at the standard of the Golf Course which they said was one of the best and most beautiful course they had ever played. Though they are based in the North Western Coast, it is likely that they will play more regularly at Victoria and win championship honours.

The team comprising Fazly Azhar, Nishan Nawaratne and Priyan Kapuwatte finished runner up.

In third place was the team led by five times world Motocross champion from Sweden Rolf Tibblin who is a legendary figure in the world motor racing scene. The other members of the team were K J Wessman and P Hemantha.

The South African couple Hendrick and Zandria Post together with Sri Lanka’s golf captain Kandasamy Prabagaran won the award for the Best Dressed Team thus it was a highly successful maiden appearance for the Posts.

The Nearest to the Pin for Men was won by national captain Kandasamy Prabagaran while the same event for ladies went to legendary Rolf Tibblins wife Indira Tibblin.

That versatile lady golfer Suwen Selvaratnam won the longest drive for ladies with a mighty Swipe while Fazly Azhar pocketed the title for men.
