Golf for Tiger Woods Wonder Watch
The South West Monsoon Meet enveloping four separate competitions over 2 weeks has moved successfully so far at the R.C.G.C.

Calcutta Medal
In the first event for the Calcutta Medal Binupa Wijesinghe a sharp teenager played excellent golf to capture the prestigious Medal. Seasoned campaigner and classy Senior Bandula Weerasinghe was beaten by a slender margin came 2nd.

Victoria Cup
This handsome trophy makes itself available to the player with the best net scores over rounds one and three. Mark Green comparatively new at the Ridgeways played impressively to score 139 to tie with Binupa Wijesinghe and get past him with a better back nine and collect the prestigious trophy. Green was a popular winner judging from the rush there was to congratulate him. Green has excellent prospects of chasing the Squadron Cup successfully through 4 rounds.

Gold Medal
Mithun Perera the prodigy is well away with 213 points pushing back Binupa Wijesinghe on 218 & Alain Gyi on a poor 227. All this is for over 3 rounds and one important round is yet to go. Golf the unpredictable game can cause alarming upsets.

Round Three
No Trophy but the glory of winning moved into Zen Dharmaratne a smashing teenager who shows much evidence of promise. He needs a trifle more weight and a wag was heard to say "Less coaching from his devoted Dad". At the moment he is an excellent prospect who could join Mithun Perera & Binupa Wijesinghe in their stables.

Tag Heurer is the renowned name of a wonder Swiss Watch. The top model is named after the living legend Tiger Woods and is a beautiful precise work of art. Imported by Colombo Jewellery Stores their Chief Executive "Wasim" Akram Cassim happily sponsors a separate event extravagantly. The promotion is handled by Leo Burnet whose Public relations Champion is Azhara Aziz. Smart and stylish her promotional plan so far is absolute.

Ridgeways
The foul weather has caused constraints and with the course taking a massive beating, Joe Prera has not been able to produce good standards. Some fairways are unkempt and a few greens remain untrue.

Finally
The competition for the Pride of Switzerland Tag Heurer took place yesterday independently for 4 Divisions and a special award to the overall winner.
