Lalith Kotelawala without doubt is the man for all seasons. An alert, smart trader and merchant he handles a massive empire with great distinction and success. In his early youth he was an excellent golfer and he adorned the Havelock Golf Club and The Royal Colombo with many memorable performances. Until a few years ago he was a regular at the Royal Colombo. Drifting from golf he got deeply involved in the day-to-day lives of caddies and did a hefty job to improve their desperate situation. He had resistance which soured his interest and forced him to call it a day. His enthusiasm for golf continues and his support is always around. Just recently he sponsored a rousingly successful tournament for Trillium Trophies and over 15 dozen golfers took off enthusiastically. His success has not been a sole effort. They say that behind every successful man there is a woman and that’s where Sicille stands – a gorgeous lady.

Mohan a great senior
Mohan Wickramanayake has been knocking at the door and this time his knock opened the door wide open to give him a creditable victory nett 69 and the senior honour. Wickramanayake lit up the 19th and did some autographing. L.P.V. Jayaweera walked behind with nett 71.
