Rabbits Regional Golf

There is an opportunity to represent the Club in the local district leagues organised by the Halifax & Huddersfield Rabbit Golf Association (HHDRGA) and wider by the Yorkshire Regional Golf Associations (YRGA), as well as Friendly matches both home and away.

We currently play 7 friendlies against other local clubs - Bradley Park, Crosland Heath, Huddersfield, Longley Park, Marsden, Ryburn and Outlane.The games are midweek, with 8 players from each side, starting around 4:30 pm. They are played in a friendly spirit and generally involve combining as a 4 man team (2 from the home club and 2 from the visiting club). The evening finishes with a meal and presentation of bottles of wine o the winning 4 man team. The Rabbit Friendlies allow members to meet and mix with like-minded golfers of similar abilities, at the same-time giving the opportunity to play other local courses for a small charge to cover the cost of the meals.

We currently play in Section D of the HHDRGA Rabbit League and will be competing against Dewsbury District, Huddersfield, Longley Park and Saddleworth in 2026

We have had several successes in recent years ;

In 2019 Steve Lamb and Chris Bingham represented the club in the YRGA Thornton Trophy and competed against 86 other clubs from across Yorkshire at Huddersfield Golf Club.  With a combined Stableford score of 67 points they won the Trophy by one point from West Bradford.  The Trophy and prizes of engraved Whisky glasses were presented to them in September at the annual YRGA dinner, where they were accompanied by John Ainley Rabbit Captain and Barry Littlewood Club President.

In 2021 the 8 Man team of S R Lamb, N Lumb, J Elliott, A Starling, J Adshead, S Duffy, M Sykes and M Reddy came 3rd in the HHDRGA Presidents Day

In 2022 the 4 man team of S Taylor, Alan Oldfield, P Thompson and F Lane came 3rd in the HHDRGA Presidents Day. C Wilby won his section in the R T Morley and narrowly lost out on semi finals day on the 19th Hole.

in 2023 Steve Lamb and John Greenwood won the HHDRGA Mellor Trophy (Foursomes Knockout) at West End Golf Club.
