BATA Golf Networking Event
Round off Summer with BATA! 🏌️♂️
We're teeing up something special – a fun and informal day of networking with a side of friendly competition.
Join us at the stunning Worsley Golf Club in Eccles, just outside Manchester, for a round that’s more about connection than your handicap.
Start the day with a hearty clubhouse breakfast to fuel your game, then head out in teams for a classic 4-ball scramble – first tee time at 10:30am. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or your clubs are still in the wrapper, there’s plenty of laughs and low pressure guaranteed.
Once the final putt drops, we'll unwind with drinks back at the clubhouse before hopping on the shuttle to Manchester Piccadilly. But the day’s not over – we’ll round things off in style with a delicious private dinner at San Carlo.
Great golf, great food, great company – and hopefully, great weather too!
We’d love to have you join us – it’s bound to be a hole-in-one of a day. If you’d like to get involved email info@bataonline.org
This event is for BATA members only.
