The Kinetic Cup

The Kinetic Cup is a one-of-a-kind, quirky, annual whiffle ball rooftop golf tournament that is hosted by Jay Brandrup, whose daughter has CHARGE syndrome, and his company, Kinetic, in Birmingham, Alabama. The event is open to all friends of Kinetic, who attempt to log a qualifying score throughout the year. The winner hoists the Cup in a culminating shootout every October and 100% of all sponsorships and donations go to the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation.

The 10th Annual Kinetic Rooftop Shootout delivered big time! The wind was kicking, the beer was cold, and you couldn’t have missed David Malone’s grand entrance with his 2016 trophy even if you tried. After some impressively played rounds by the field, Fletcher Finch was crowned the youngest champion in Kinetic Cup history at 14! Past champion Hunter Finch proudly welcomed his son into the Hall of Fame, admitting that he hasn’t been able to beat Fletcher at golf since he was 8.

Huge thanks to Michael Eady and Michael McGreevey for rockin’ the mics as always, and all of our 2024 sponsors who made this record breaking year possible. We raised over $35,000 for charity, with 100% of contributions going to our CHARGE Syndrome Foundation fundraiser. Cheers to 10 years of the Kinetic Cup!
