Bruno’s Bear

By Mike Hall, September 18, 2026

Our great friend, Bruno, was playing golf recently at Bear Dance…a majestic course in the mountains near Larkspur, Colorado.

He found himself in the rough on a lengthy par 5 with an uphill shot of 230 yards.

He chose a #4 hybrid and hit the shot of his life.  When the group reached the green, the white Titelist had found a home a mere one foot from the hole.

As Bruno tells it, he was about to stroke the putt for an eagle when they heard a blood curdling cry of “BEAR” from an hysterical woman nearby.

Not surprisingly, Bruno’s putter flinched and he missed the putt.

His sarcastic playing partner said ‘nice birdie.’
