The legends is a kind of Winter version of the Rabbits, introduced and managed by Hugh O'Brien.

It is a 9-hole competition normally played on Friday mornings from October to March with the same eligibility as the Rabbits (in addition you are eligible for the season if your WHS handicap index is 15.0 or over on 1st September)

The Legends' season for Winter 24/25 has begun.

Because the weather is more of an issue in Winter, we have a WhatsApp group where Hugh can notify us if there is a cancellation.  If you would like to be included in the WhatsApp group, please give your mobile number to Hugh O'Brien or Ian McKay.  NB You will need to have WhatsApp installed on your phone.  You can get WhatsApp free of charge from the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (i-Phone).

The Legends is intended to be more of a social event than a competitive one - whilst each event is competitive, there is no Golfer of the Year etc.

Most of the Rabbits Rules apply.  Like the Rabbits, you get a shot back each week (to a maximum of 3), but the cuts for doing well are not quite so severe. 

Continuing from 2023, players now (where conditions permit) officially submit their results into the computer so that they will get the appropriate handicap adjustments for the 9-holes.  This will mainly benefit members who don't play in other competitions.  We have phased out the extra shots for the "veterans" handicaps as, thanks to the WHS system, these are no longer deemed as necessary.  However, on the second and fifth holes, players over 85 may play from the red tees.

ENJOY YOUR GOLF!
