This week we hosted the Howcroft Group Golf Day 2026 at Waterton Park Golf Club, Wakefield — and it was everything we hoped for and more. 18 teams. 72 players. Legends of the game. A Jeroboam of champagne. And one very funny after-dinner set from comedian John Stiles. Congratulations to Razor's Rough Riders — Neil Ruddock's team — who took home the winners' trophy. Well deserved. 🏆 A huge thank you to every guest, customer and partner who joined us on the course. Days like this are a reminder of why we do what we do — building relationships that last far longer than any supply contract. Roll on 2027. 🙌 To relive the best moments in the event highlights, browse the team gallery, and check the final scores! ⛳ see here: https://lnkd.in/g8SQkema

🏌️ Last-Minute Transfer Window Blockbuster! ⚽ We thought our Howcroft Pro-Am Golf Day lineup was complete, but we’ve just pulled off a massive deadline-day signing. Joining us on the greens TODAY at Waterton Park Golf Club is none other than former Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Wales international striker—and absolute footballing legend—Dean Saunders! Dean joins our incredible roster of ex-professionals, bringing his trademark sharp wit, competitive spirit, and (hopefully) a lethal swing to the fairway. The stage is set, the sun is out, and the competition just got a whole lot tougher. Follow along throughout the day for live updates, team tracking, and to see if Dean can find the back of the net—or, the bottom of the cup—as cleanly as he did during his playing days. Let’s play some golf! 🏌️‍♂️☀️
