After the initial trip to La Sella in September had to be cancelled because of extreme rain, we arrived at La Sella to lovely sunny weather.

 

La Sella has three 9-hole courses, which gave us a good variation for our three rounds of golf.

 

On the first day we played Individual Stableford.  The winners were

3^rd place Jean-Jaques Bourrier with 29 points,

2^nd place Derek Cruickshank with 29 points,

1^st place Jean-Claude Martinez with 31 points.

 

On the second day we had a Texas Scramble.  The winners were

2^nd place Richard Davis, Jean-Jacques Bourrier with 40 points

1^st place Derek and Karen Cruickshank, Klaudia Martinez, Doris Shearman-Earp with 44 points.

 

On the third day we had another Individual Stableford, with a different variation of courses. The winners were

Derek Cruickshank, Richard Davis and Jim Hurley, all with 31 points

 

The best combined Stableford scores were 

2^nd place Jean-Jacque Bourrier with 58 points

1^st place Derek Cruickshank with 60 points

 

A big thank you goes to our Captain Karen, together with her two helpers Derek and Richard for their hard work and great efforts to make this a most enjoyable and memorable trip.  We all had a great time on and off the golf course.
