The eighth annual Dialog Enterprise Rotary Metro Par 3 Charity Golf Classic, organised by the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan in partnership with the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC), was held on October 26, 2024, at RCGC. This signature event once again attracted enthusiastic support from players and sponsors alike, all united in a shared mission to uplift underprivileged children across Sri Lanka.
Renowned for its innovative approach, the tournament reimagined the RCGC course as a Par 3 layout, presenting participants with a fresh, challenging experience on every hole. Golfers teed off in two sessions, at 7:00 AM and 12:00 noon, testing their skills on a course transformed into a unique Par 3 playground.
The Dialog Enterprise Rotary Metro Par 3 Golf Classic is more than just a tournament; it’s a charity-driven event aimed at generating funds for community development initiatives led by the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan. Projects supported by this annual event focus on healthcare, education, and various forms of assistance for Sri Lanka’s underserved communities.
Dialog Enterprise served as the event’s title sponsor, with Asia Securities as its platinum sponsor and Sovereign Maxwell as its official real estate partner. Their contributions, along with the dedication of many volunteers, continue to make this tournament an impactful, community-centred occasion.
