Greetings to all members and golfing enthusiasts, As you navigate the digital realm of the Royal Colombo Golf Club, I, as the Captain, extend a warm welcome to you. For 144 years, our club has upheld a rich heritage that we cherish and are proud of. I feel privileged and honored to be the Captain for the year 2023/24 of this prestigious club, and I appreciate your good wishes.

The pandemic caused us many challenges, and just when we thought we could breathe a sigh of relief and return to a full year of golfing activity, the economic crisis loomed heavily upon us. However, with the support of our valued members, and sponsors who came forward to sponsor golfing events, we were able to weather the storm and improve our facilities, ensuring that we continue to provide the best services possible. My sincere gratitude goes out to them.

As we begin a new journey in 2023, we're excited to introduce our golfers to a digital age experience. Our Players Pavilion is set to delight you, offering a comfortable space to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings at your own pace after a game. The F&B department is also gearing up to offer you a range of exciting cuisine, including signature dishes prepared by renowned chefs.

Our Directors, together with their professional teams of management, have organized a diverse range of events to enhance your golfing experience throughout the year. They are also prepared to offer their expertise with a view to delighting the membership in the clubhouse and on the greens, thus improving your overall membership experience.

We have accommodated our upcoming generation to be a vivid part of the main golfing events and tailor made a program to provide an opportunity to the young aspiring golfers from schools to be groomed, allowing them to spread their wings to reach international heights.

As the RCGC is the second oldest Royal Golf club outside UK, visiting golfers can enjoy our historical club house and the serene environment of fauna and flora amidst a remarkable variety of endemic species.

I am assured that you will enjoy the plethora of events planned out for you and continue to patronize the RCGC and indulge in all our excellent facilities.

In conclusion, together with the members of my General committee, and the management, I warmly welcome you to the RCGC and assure you that 2023 will prove to be an enriching and royal experience in your golfing calendar with us.

Yours sincerely,

Creattion

Captain
