Former Trinitian Surain Premathilake once again created history on the golf circuit, this time at the Highlanders Cup Golf 2018 where he emerged the overall nett winner at the re-laid Diyatalawa Army Golf Course last weekend.

The event, which was organised by the Sri Lanka Army Golf Committee (SLAGC) headed by Brig. Nanda Hathurusinghe, was well-attended and organised in a very professional manner. The event’s Chief Guest was the Army Commander Mahesh Senanayake. He opened the newly-constructed clubhouse before the commencement of the tournament.
