Nations Trust Bank signed an agreement with Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC) to have a partnership for five years in support the golf tournaments that will be conducted by RCGC. One of them is the monthly medal round that will see a host of talented young players in action.
With this new partnership Royal Colombo Golf Club together with Nations Trust Bank hopes to bring new insight and enhanced enthusiasm to flourish the sport of golf among Sri Lankans.
The RCGC with a heritage of 144 years leading up to its 150 years will conduct tournaments for the young golfers so that they will be nurtured to further their talent until they are good enough to represent the country in the future. One such tournament that will be continued is the Nations Trust Golf Championship.
This collaboration aims to bring together avid golf players, offering them the chance to participate in competitive golf tournaments. This will include Nations Trust Bank customers who are members of RCGC, including the Bank’s Corporate Banking and Commercial Banking customers, American Express Card members, Private Banking Members and FriMi customers.
“We engaged with RCGC in response to the positive feedback we received from the golfing community following the tournament we hosted early this year.
“This partnership will allow us to offer an enjoyable experience to our customers and guests and we look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership. We also hope to introduce tournaments for juniors as well,” said Sanjaya Senarath Chief Marketing Officer of Nations Trust Bank.
“We are delighted to embark on a long-term partnership with Nations Trust Bank. We believe that the tournaments that we host together will add to the enjoyment on the green for both professional and amateur golf players alike and thereby contribute further to the growth of the golf sport,” he added.
According to Rohitha Silva, the captain of the RCGC, tournaments will feature attractive trophies and prizes across various categories such as men’s and women’s events as well as Masters and Senior.
Special awards will include Longest Drive at the 8th hole, closest to Pin at the 13th hole, the Nations Trust Bank Winner and Overall Winner of the Tournament.
Nations Trust Bank will also host a separate junior golf tournament for children who are enthusiastic golf players.
“The junior golf tournament is in line with the Royal Colombo Golf Clubs junior golf development program where they can go on to represent Sri Lanka in the future,” said Rohitha Silva.
