The Ananda Business Network (R) successfully hosted the Anandia Golfers Tournament 2026 at the historic Royal Colombo Golf Club on 9 August, bringing together old Anandians from across generations for a day of friendly competition, networking, and camaraderie.
The tournament holds a unique distinction as Sri Lanka’s only golf tournament organised by a single school alumni network, highlighting the enduring bonds and strong sense of community shared among past pupils of Ananda College.
This year’s event attracted 36 participants representing a wide range of age groups and professional backgrounds, united by their common alma mater. The competition was played in the Stableford format, providing an engaging and competitive experience for golfers of varying skill levels.
Following the tournament, participants and distinguished guests attended an evening cocktail reception, which provided an opportunity for fellowship and networking. Among the notable attendees were Central Bank of Sri Lanka Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, and Defence Former Secretary and Old Anandians Sports Club President General Kamal Gunaratne (Retd.), whose presence further underscored the significance of the event within the Anandian community.
Ananda Business Network President Primal Wijenayake noted that the tournament continues to strengthen the connections among Anandians while promoting sportsmanship, networking, and lifelong friendships.
