It is expected to feature some of the top players in the country across the Medal Play 18-hole net score Shotgun Start format.
Speaking at the launch, vice-president Paton George said, “Ramesh and Devi have been among our best supporters at the Golf Club, 25 years’ relationship says it all and most of the trophies we present at the club at the various levels, are provided by Trophy Stall. They give us credit when we need it. They are very good so this is one of the longest relationships we’ve had ever.”
