2012 Moller Open

Bear and sons played their annual Moller Open on Thursday on the North course at Bretwood.  Andy the two time reigning Champ 2010 & 2011 came up from SC,  Jed drove up from Newton, MA and Bear came in from Hancock.  It was a toss up between Andy and Jed as to who was favored, but it was clear who was not, Bear still mired in a slump.  Under the watchful eye of Mad Dog all three players hit their drives on the first tee.  Bear went into the right trees (Fireman's favorite spot), Andy had only 130 yds from the middle of the fairway and Jed only 110 from the right rough.  Both Boys knocked it on the green, Bear needed three to get on.  After one it was Andy -1, Jed even, Bear +1.  Jed took the lead on the 5th hole and never looked back.  He was three up over Bear and six up over Andy at the turn.  Although Bear found a little game on the back and closed to within one stroke with three holes to play Jed proved to be too tough and shot a smooth 76 to win by two over Bear's 78.  Andy a victim of  the "Bretwood Break" on the greens had two rough holes which took him out of it half way through the back nine.  A good time was had by all and they look forward to the 2013 battle at a site to be determined.

Jed 2012 Champ  Andy 2010 & 2011 Champ

They did invite a Swede to play with them about 8 years ago and he stole the show by shooting a 68 so he has never been invited back.
