The Scarlets Community Foundation Golf Day marked a fantastic event for Great Days Golf Events as we were proud to deliver a memorable day at the stunning Machynys Peninsula Golf Club. Set against the spectacular backdrop of Carmarthen Bay, the award-winning Nicklaus Championship Course provided the perfect venue for a day that combined golf, networking and fundraising.
Despite challenging coastal winds, players embraced the conditions and enjoyed a professionally organised event from registration through to the evening presentations. Our team managed every aspect of the day, ensuring guests could focus on enjoying the experience while supporting an incredible cause.
The event welcomed current and former Scarlets players, coaching staff, Foundation supporters and rugby legend Jonathan “Jiffy” Davies, creating a fantastic atmosphere both on and off the course.
To keep the competition flowing throughout the day, we organised a range of on-course challenges, including the popular "Hammer the Holley" competition, where former Scarlets coach Sean Holley challenged golfers to beat him in a nearest-the-pin contest on the iconic 17th hole.
More than just a golf day, the event successfully raised valuable funds for the Scarlets Community Foundation, helping to support its outstanding work across West Wales. The Foundation uses the power of rugby to inspire young people, improve health and wellbeing, promote education and create positive opportunities within local communities.
Following the golf, guests enjoyed an entertaining Q&A session hosted by Jonathan "Jiffy" Davies, who shared stories from his playing career, reflected on the day's golf and discussed the upcoming British & Irish Lions tour, providing the perfect finish to a memorable event.
The day was expertly captured by the Great Days Golf Media team, ensuring every moment was preserved for the Foundation, sponsors and participants.
