Friendly golf for 16 and higher handicappers, with interesting in-house competitions and friendly matches against Rabbits Sections of other local clubs. There is an Open Day and the Rabbits Captain arranges an Away Day and an Exchange Day.
Rabbits In-House competitions run both Summer and Winter, with individual competitions and Summer and Winter pairs events.
Rabbits matches usually take place on mid-week afternoons, normally starting between 13.00 and 15.00. The usual team number is 12 with variations. The delight of matches for many Rabbits member is the meeting up of old opponents, swapping tales over a meal, so forging long term friendships.
