The Bobcat Open is a traditional and yearly event that brings together people with a passion for golf, Brewster Academy, and a spirit of friendly competition. Alumni, parents, friends, and neighbors participated in a scramble format that encouraged participation and guaranteed entertainment. This year, Brewster recognized the legacy of a man who exemplified the spirit of a “good neighbor” – the late John Naramore, a former Brewster board member. For those who participated and/or sponsored this year’s Bobcat Open, thank you for continuing the legacy of our good friend John and his commitment to Wolfeboro and Brewster.
