Captain's Message

It is a privilege and honour to serve as Captain of the Royal Colombo Golf Club for the year 2026/2027. Having had the opportunity to serve the Club in various capacities over the years, I am deeply appreciative of the trust placed in me to now take on this role. It is a responsibility I accept with both pride and a strong sense of commitment.

For 147 years, the Royal Colombo Golf Club has stood as a proud symbol of tradition, excellence, and camaraderie. Generations of members have shaped not only the character of this Club, but also the spirit in which the game is played—grounded in integrity, respect, and a shared passion for golf. We also warmly welcome those who engage with our Club as visitors, and who contribute to the wider appreciation of the game and our heritage.

I extend my sincere appreciation to our immediate past leadership for their commitment and stewardship. Their efforts have ensured that the Club continues to uphold its rich legacy while remaining progressive and resilient.

As we look ahead, my focus will be firmly on the continued development of our golf course the very heart of our Club. Strategic investment in modern machinery, the advancement of our long-term irrigation plans, and the consistent elevation of course standards will remain key priorities. As we approach our landmark 150th anniversary, our ambition is clear: to position Royal Colombo among the finest “Royal” golf courses in the world.

Equally important is the strength of our community. I look forward to working closely with our members, committee, and staff to further enrich the Club experience encouraging participation, nurturing young talent, and ensuring that every member feels a genuine sense of belonging and pride.

Golf is a game that demands patience, discipline, and continuous improvement. These are values I will strive to uphold throughout my tenure, both on and off the course.

As we move toward this historic milestone, we do so not only as custodians of a proud legacy, but as architects of its future. Together, let us shape a Royal Colombo Golf Club that honours its past, defines excellence in the present, and sets the standard for generations to come.

Thank you for your trust and confidence. I look forward to a rewarding year ahead.
