From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald C. Paup (born 1939) is a former American badminton player who won national and international titles from the mid 1960's to the early 1980's[1]. Primarily a doubles specialist, he was known for his quick racket and tactical astuteness. He was ranked first in the U.S. men's doubles for twelve consecutive seasons (1965-1976); all but the last of these in a partnership with Jim Poole that was consistently competitive at the world class level. Paup played on all U.S. Thomas Cup teams between 1963 and 1973[1]. He was elected to the U.S. Badminton Hall of Fame, now called the Walk of Fame, in 1973.
