The Victoria Golf Club, voted as one of the 100 most beautiful golf courses in the world and number one in the Asian subcontinent, will host the Mark Bostock Memorial Golf Tournament on 27 and 28 May at Rajawella Digana.
This is the 10th year of this event which started back in 2008. Chris Thornton will defend the title which he won at last year’s event.
The golfing fraternity will long remember Bostock, the former Chairman of John Keells Holdings, as the visionary behind the Victoria Golf Course, and its holding company, Rajawella Holdings Ltd. Bostock conceived the idea of a golf course in the centere of the island, in the scenic area bordering the newly-built Victoria dam.
This tournament is held in Bostock’s memory and to celebrate all that is good about the game of golf. The Mark Bostock Memorial Golf Tournament is a flagship competition and a Board Event at the Victoria Golf & Country Resort. The tournament is well established and has been supported throughout the years by both locals and foreign golfers.
