Sixways Annual Golf Day 2024 at Worcester Golf & Country Club

On Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024, golf enthusiasts and Worcester Warriors supporters alike gathered at Worcester Golf & Country Club for the annual Sixways Golf Day. The event brought together a vibrant community of players, sponsors, and Warriors legends, all eager to celebrate not only the sport but also the resilience and spirit of the Warriors as the club seeks a return to professional rugby’s second tier.

A Day on the Greens: Golf, Camaraderie, and Friendly Competition

Despite some chilly weather, the rain held off, allowing golfers to fully enjoy the course and the day’s events. They were in good company, sharing the green with Warriors greats, including Nick Baxter, who led the day as the master of ceremonies.

The tournament saw outstanding play and featured a variety of challenges, thanks to sponsors Exol Lubricants Limited, plus spirits were kept high with a well-stocked halfway house sponsored by Nicol & Co and Hell Energy. As the teams navigated the course and competed for prizes, the team from Hazelton Mountford Ltd ultimately took home the trophy.

Warriors Past Players Foundation: A Tribute to Tradition and Togetherness

This year’s golf day was especially significant as it marked the launch of a fledgling Warriors Past Players Foundation charity, dedicated to supporting former players and strengthening the Warriors legacy. The gathering served as a reunion for many Warriors legends, staff, and long-time supporters, celebrating their shared history and future prospects for the club.

A Community United in Support

The day culminated with a raffle, auction, and lunch at the clubhouse, where Nick Baxter took the mic, guiding attendees through an afternoon of celebration and fundraising. Key figures like Gill Wood, who organized the event, and the dedicated team at Sixways, ensured everything ran smoothly, with the support of familiar ticket office ladies, Lynn and Justine, who helped coordinate behind the scenes.

Looking Ahead

The Sixways team is already planning for next year’s golf day, but in the meantime, fans can look forward to upcoming events at Sixways Stadium, including the annual fireworks display on November 2nd, festive Christmas parties, and the December Sixways Shoot in Ombersley. 

The annual golf day reflects the deep-rooted camaraderie and optimism that continue to define the Warriors community as they press forward in their journey back to competitive rugby.
