Scratch Cup Renamed the Christy Broe Scratch Cup in 2019
Our Scratch Cup was renamed after our long time & devoted member Christy Broe. Christy name is well known throughout pitch & putt circle for the many roles he has held and his dedication to the sport. In addition to his long tenure as Dublin County Board Chairman, Christy was inducted into the PPUI Hall of Fame in 2009 as recognition of this service.
The 1st staging of the Christy Broe Scratch cup was held in 2019. Our sponsors on that occasion was National Autoports who were with us throout out the previous 10 years. Christy was on hand to meet and greet all who took part and presented all of the winners with their prizes. It was a great honour that the 1st winner was an Old County gent with Karl Murphy winning
In 2020 with the Covid Virus at its peak we had no scratch Cup. The Scratch Cp returned in 2021 and a late date of 03rd October was chosen. We saw our 1st outside winner of the Scratch Cup ( since it was renamed) it was Sean Goggins who has been a staunch supporter of our scratch cup for many years. Sean carded an impressive 90 to seal the top prize.
Our most recent one again saw a new date and a nice on in high Summer and it was a local Old County player who took the top prize with Andy Lowe Triumphing with a 93. He just saw off the previous winner in 2019 Karl Murphy to add a third new name to the cup.
We will announce 2023 date in due course and see if we get a new winner or a repeat from Karl / Sean and Andy. We hope to see Christy on top form on the day as well with some fine weather to boot.
