Sachin and Afflli top RCGC 2011/2012 Rankings

-

Sachin De Silva maintained his early advantage through the year to be the #1 on the Gross Standings after the 25 round grueling Royal Colombo Golf Club Tournament calendar for the year 2011/2012. The outgoing Captain Sanjiv Vairawanat­han played consisten Golf and closed the gap with Sachin and all but caught him to be Ranked # 2 with a deficit of only 100 points! It was a fitting result with the most promising future prospect Sachin at # 1 and seasoned campaigner­s including David Evans, Nirmal Hettiarach­chi, Sheron Fernando and other new and familiar faces completing the competitio­n.

In the Nett Standings Afflli Rahim overtook Sachin who was leading the Nett standings too at the halfway stage and playing consistent Golf held on to a 100 point lead to take the # 1 Spot in the Nett Grand-prix. The battle in the Nett Standings is more intense with the handicap allotment giving every player an equal opportunit­y to collect points in each and every round.

Consistent performanc­es see single figure handicap Golfers maintainin­g a strong-hold with a few exceptions like the ever improving youngster Zaffar Sikkander, Priyanka Hapugalle and others with slightly higher handicaps.

The Seniors and Masters Categories also cater stiff competitio­n to all Players with the competitiv­e interest and edge being maintained through the year.
