Colombo, Jan 5, Fri – Sri Lanka Golf has exciting news for golf enthusiasts as they announce that eleven top-seeded golfers are set to compete in two trial rounds on January 8 and 9 at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.

Interestingly, Reshan Algama, the leading young golfer and winner of the November National Ranking Tournament, has chosen not to participate in the trials due to academic commitments, as confirmed by Sri Lanka Golf.
These trials promise an exciting display of talent, and golf enthusiasts eagerly await the announcement of the two players who will proudly represent in the esteemed Bangladesh Amateur Golf Championship.
