NORWICH – The 64th annual Canasawacta Country Club member-guest tournament kicked off Thursday morning and afternoon. After the first round, Bob Adsit and Dave Cappadonia are tied with the father-son duo Bob and Michael Branham with a score of 66 or five-under-par on the par-71 course. Eric Walling and partner Brett Smith are behind them with a 67.

The defending champions Matt Burrell and Craig Dawson are tied with six teams after shooting a 69 for the day. Owner Tim Carson and partner Scott Seiler finished the day one-over- par with a 72. In his golfing debut, Chad Kressler, the Superintendent of the country club, with Brian Wood also finished with a 72 in the first round.
