Jimmy Bruen Shield
The Jimmy Bruen Shield was inaugurated in 1798 commemorates the late Jimmy Bruen of Muskerry Golf Club who inspired the British & Irish Team to their first win in the Walker Cup at St. Andrews in 1938. Jimmy was only 18-years old at the time and a schoolboy at the Presentation Brothers.
He won the British Amateur Championship in 1946 and many other National Championships, before an injury brought a premature end to his illustrious amateur carrier. Jimmy was renowned for his distance off the tee before technology was even dreamt about. A visit to his home club Muskerry will leave the visitor in no doubt about the achievements of this great man.
The teams consist of tem members playing Foursomes medal-play with a combined handicap of 23 and the minimum handicap of 6 with a maximum handicap of 17 or any combination of the above not grater than 23 combined.
