For the 2nd time in two years, Bryan has made St Annes Golf Course his bitch. Broken Joe Golf opened the 2018 season at St Annes with “The Misters”, where Bryan shot a 91 under cold and windy conditions. This year, Bryan not only won by 6 strokes, but he was also welcomed into the 80s club.

Front Nine:

Bryan was on fire on the front nine where he had a birdie and 4 pars. He was crushing every club in his bag. His only problem hole on the front was number 8 where he had a triple bogey. On the far side of that spectrum was Jon. Jon shot par (72) on just the front 9 with two 8s, three 9s and an 11.

Yes, it was a little muddy at St Annes, but at least we are back to playing golf.

Front Nine Scores:

1st - Bryan – 42

2nd - Dave & Joe – 48

4th - Chris & Chris Cirelli – 50

6th - Joe T – 53

7th - Adam & Steve – 54

9th - Dan – 55

10th - Matty Ice & Rock – 56

12th - Rey – 57

13th - Jake – 58

14th - Jon – 72

Back Nine:

Dave plays hard on the back nine with 5 pars. Joe T, Rock and Jake all play better and bring some honor back to their family names. Chris, our 2017 Pretenders Champion, limps home with an 8 and an 11 to finish at the end of the pack.

Here is Adam showing us one of the reasons that the 18th hole is the hardest hole at St Annes.

Back Nine Scores:

1st – Dave – 41

2nd Joe T – 43

3rd – Jake – 44

4th – Rock – 45

5th – Bryan – 47

6th – Joe & Rey – 50

8th – Dan – 50

9th – Chris C – 52

10th – Matt & Jon – 53

12th – Steve – 54

13th – Adam – 55

14th – Chris – 59

Rey wins the “Closest to the Hole” on the 11th hole par 3 and Jake wins the “Longest Drive" on the 14th hole par 4. Each gets the prize of subtracting one stroke from their scores.

Final Score (w/ Actual Score)

1st Place – Bryan – 89 (89)

The Race to Big Y (Fed Up Cup Points)

1st – Bryan – 28 points

2nd – Dave – 26 Points

3rd – Joe T – 24 Points

4th – Joe and Rock – 20.5 Points

6th – Chris C – 17 Points

7th – Adam, Dan, Matty Ice & Rey – 12 Points

11th – Jake – 7 Points

12th – Steve – 5 Points

13th – Chris – 3 Points

14th Jon – 1 Point

I really thought that Matty Ice and Jon would be battling it out but Jon's game never showed up. Matty Ice did the unthinkable and played to a tie with Adam, Dan and Rey. The Misters should be very interesting.

FYI – The Misters will be played on Sunday, May 5th at Franconia.
