His older brothers, Buster and Bobby, won their share of barbecue
tournaments during the ’40s and ’50s.
David was the fifth of the eight brothers and came to Atlanta.
He
was tragically injured in a hunting accident in the mid-1980s and lived
some 20 years confined to a wheelchair before dying in 2007.
At Druid Hills Golf Club that day, David was watching Chris play.
Although Chris did not have a good final round, he still finished in the
top 10 against his younger opponents.
Chris played college golf at the
University of Virginia and had tour potential, but like his Uncle Buster,
opted for a more sedate life off of the road and running a golf course.
Buster, the third-oldest of the Cupit brothers, has run the Longview
Country Club for 40 years.
Chris remembers a funny conversation
between the two about 10 years ago.
“I was talking with Buster and he mentioned that he had recently
shot his age, so I thought he might have had a 69 or something,” Chris
said.
