Siddhalepa sponsors September round of RCGC monthly medal tournament

Golfers participating in the September round of the monthly medal tournament at the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC) discovered or rediscovered the healing touch of authentic ayurveda therapy when the country’s leading ayurveda company, the Siddhalepa Group, hosted the monthly medal tournament in September.

Tired golfers who came back to the club after a hard day on the course were treated to free foot massages by experienced therapists from the company’s ayurveda spa in Ward Place Colombo 7. 

The monthly tournament, held on the 8 and 9 September, was a golden opportunity for the company to introduce some of its signature ayurveda treatments and products to the golfing fraternity in a most effective and convincing manner.

All participants received a complimentary ‘Golf Booster’ – a neck and shoulder massage quick treatment to loosen up before heading for the golf course. 

The two-day tournament ended with an awards presentation followed by a cocktail for golfers, members of the RCGC and Siddhalepa’s invitees, where the company introduced an Ayurveda-style cocktail called an ayur shooter. The company’s new drink AyurLive was also served during the tournament. 

The Siddhalepa Group sponsored all 15 trophies and medals awarded by their Chairman Deshabandu, Dr. Victor Hettigoda and Managing Director Asoka Hettigoda. 

While the winners also received vouchers for an all-expense-paid stay at the group’s Ayurveda Resort in Wadduwa, all participants of the tournament received discount vouchers on Spa gift packs. The new partnership between two of the oldest establishments in Sri Lanka is a unique way of promoting good health.

The Siddhalepa Group, with a 200-year heritage in Ayurveda, was established as the Siddhalepa Company 83 years ago by Dr. Don Hendrick de Silva Hettigoda, Dr. Hettigoda’s father. The Royal Colombo Golf Course is 137 years old and is the second oldest golf club outside of the United Kingdom.

This rich heritage has created a new niche for golf in the city of Colombo where ayurveda medicine and a healthy lifestyle is fast becoming a way of life.
