Familiar faces on top at C.C.C.

NORWICH – A pair well acquainted with the top of the leaderboard grabbed the early lead in the 48th Annual Canasawacta Country Club men’s member-guest here Thursday.

The father-son team of Bob and Mike Branham, champions in 2004, fired a 6-under-par 64 to lead second-place Tim Carson-Scott Seiler and Roger Gray-Brian Loomis by four shots, who each fashioned first-round 68s.



“It really helps to get off to a good start,” said Mike Branham. “We did a really good job of team golf...and it helps when you’re in trouble on a hole and your partner is making birdie.”

Through the luck of the draw, the Branhams earned a fortuitous starting hole beginning on the par-five 10th hole. Playing the easier of the two nines; however, did not yield low scores with the first eight holes all ending in pars. Magic struck, though, on the 18th hole.
