BADGER'S GOLF - AGUILON 25/3/09

Wow - the mosquitos! No not the ones for dropping bombs on last week's buggy-fuhrers, these were real! Millions of the little blighters - each about the size of a daddy-longlegs with biceps. Old Badger's members who now play regularly at Aguilon, resplendent in long trousers, smiled knowingly at the sacrificial flesh on display as our lot rolled up in shorts, and muttered disturbingly about how polo shirts offered no protection. But Derek Stephenson was kind enough to play the role of the Public Health officials who walk down the plane spraying passengers as they arrive in Australia or New Zealand, making sure everyone got a good coating of repellant. The poor turnout this week was probably fuelled by the knowledge that this is a difficult course for the high handicapper to score well.

RESULTS
1st: Colm O'Keefe making good use of his knowlwdge of the course with 35 points
2nd: Roger Jenkins a fine 35 points also but losing on countback
3rd: Pat Sayer 33 points

The 17th green remained unsullied in the nearest the pin competition, and Roger Jenkins made the only 2 of the day.
