Rabbits

Rabbits are golfers who have a playing handicap of 15 or more.  Only Rabbits can play in competitions limited to this condition though most Beauchief events are also open to these players.  Details of the Rabbits events organised for the year are shown below.  For these enter in the usual way.

The Rabbits section is for male and female members aged 18 and over with a World Handicap System Index of 15.0 to 54.0. It is for all who enjoy friendly, competitive golf.

Playing in the Rabbits section gives members the opportunity to meet and play with others of a similar standard and, most importantly, to have fun taking part. Everyone is welcome to play either on a regular or occasional basis with lots of opportunities to take part. It is an ideal way for new and existing members to take part in friendly and competitive golf, to play at different courses, to make new friends and to have the chance to win some trophies.

Our Rabbits activities include monthly stablefords that are scheduled for Friday afternoons, and occasionally on Saturdays too, to enable as many players as possible to have the opportunity to play. The Rabbits season runs from April to November and whilst the golf is always competitive the accent is very much on having fun.

There are opportunities to play other courses around Yorkshire. The section is part of the wider Wakefield Rabbits Golf Association (WRGA) which currently sits under the overall Yorkshire Rabbits Golf Association (YRGA) that has six areas with a total of over 100 golf clubs taking part. Rabbits can take part in various WRGA matches against other YRGA clubs and can enter prestigious competitions such as the Fowler Trophy, Thornton Trophy and the Plowright Trophy, to name a few. So it's an ideal way to take part in golf matches, home and away across Yorkshire

So playing with the Rabbits is a good way to make new friends and have a chance to win a team or individual event. Existing club members, or anyone joining the club, is most welcome to come along and join the Rabbits to perhaps improve their golf but also to have a great time doing so.
