Admiral W.K.J Karannagoda an avid golfer then
Navy and Air force started golf during Much Loved Sporting President Rajapaksa who blessed cricket,rugby,soccer,motor racing and even building parks in the city encouraging the nation to be healthy..
It is Gotabaya then defence secretary a golfer himself encouraged forces to start the game of golf. So resulted in three new Golf courses in Trincomalee, Anuradhapura. giving opportunity to villages of the less privileged to start the game.Even the current six star Shangri La was initiated by the President Rajapakse.
