Badgers Abroad 2006 - 4th to 8th October - The Ride-Her Cup
Two changes from our winning formula of 2005 - Simon Tuson decided to give his liver a rest and step down from the tour. It wasn't too hard to find a worthy replacement amongst the scores of alcoholics masquerading as golfers within the society, but Mike Stone was selected and stepped up to the mark admirably. Second one was we decided to go co-ordinated on the shorts so we could look even more stupid!
Teams were as previous two years (Alec/Richard - Blue Dick, Harry/Sharpie - Fat Bastard, Mark/Stevie B - San Migs, Nige/John - The Cheekies, Eugenio/Alan - Posh n' Bucks) with the exception of our newly formed team of Mikes' Stone and Healy - newly christened 'Taking the Mick'.
Day 1 - Badgers in transit (well, some of them anyway). No golf. Just drink (lots).
Day 2 - La Cala
The Badgers Abroad 2006. A fine body of men!

Match 2 - The Cheekies Vs Blue Dick
Match 3 - Fat Bastard Vs San Migs
Day 3 - Los Flamingos
Sharpie contemplates another quiet night out in Marbella Old Town. Everbody else ponders; why did Sharpie get his 'fat bastard' nickname from......
Greenpeace contemplate rolling him back into the sea.
Photo courtesy of the lovely Rosaline. She won't forget us in a hurry. And no Rudders, those tits weren't real. Nothing was.....for the more observant of you, yes, Rudders is wearing the wrong colour shorts and, yes, a fine was duly dispatched. Be warned!
Sharpie maintains his streaking run and get's 'em out for the lads again. For christ sakes, put 'em away man!! At least his are real though, if a little saggy........
Match 1 - Taking the Mick Vs Fat Bastard (Sharpie is the only gay in the village....)
Stoney maintains the honour of the Badgers Abroad in fine style and tops his drive 20 yards left. Only 40 yards to go to the lady's tee Mike! And that was your third shot you cheating bastard, no way was that a staked tree!!!
Match 2 - The Cheekies Vs San Migs
Match 3 - Blue Dick Vs Posh n' Bucks
Genty on the 6th. Four fairways, hundres of acres of prime Spanish real estate and no, we didn't have a fucking clue where it went either, Wise Old Slicing Badger.....
Smithy is presented with his Spanish pulling shirt - I play rugby you know!!!

Match 2 - Posh n' Bucks Vs The Cheekies
Match 3 - Fat Bastard Vs Blue Dick
Day 5 - Monte Paraiso
Last men standing - Vallintine, Beasley, Sahrpie, Cutts and Gent.
Vallintine needs to learn how to use the self timer on his camera. Either that or he's just shit himself.....Beasley not sure what he's left behind either!
Matches; You're having a laugh. After a night in Banus, if you're still able to tee the ball up and hit it you can play with who you want. So we played as a five ball!!

Cheekies didn't have a good year this time, best news was Mickey Blue managed to avoid getting a cement mixer the whole tour! Might need to keep those Badger shirts in moth balls a bit longer Mr Tuson!!
