BMW golf tournament was a success

Richard Dwight

The BMW inaugural Golf Tournament, was for the first time held last Saturday at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.

It did reveal maturity in organizing and conducting a competition of this magnitude and nature – the trimming and trappings kept the pavilion alive while the music kept everyone move. For pleasure and leisure much food and drink was provided for the large crowd that was present.

The tournament was meant for BMW owners, and also open to others in accord with their handicaps.

A feature of the awards ceremony apart from the presentation of prizes, was the display of the range BMW Cars, inclusive of the sports cars BMW Z4 and the BMW E40I convertible. The chairman/MD of MBW (Prestige Automobile (Pvt) Hans Reuter, and the captain RCGC, Sanjiv Vairvanthan addressed the gathering present
