GOLF - It is almost 125 years since the Royal Colombo Golf Club was inaugurated. The stone was laid and a course was built on the Galle Face esplanade. The Royal Colombo is the second oldest Royal Calcutta outside the British Isles, with the Royal Calcutta Golf Club established 175 years ago identified as the oldest. During this period of time, every imaginable game was played on Galle Face and the playing area was so crowded, that golf was getting choked due to unlawful encroachment.
