Few people will have a clearer focus on the ups and downs of golf, and the ups and downs of life, than Kurtis.
Kurtis was born with scoliosis, which is a deformity of the spine. His spine curves three different ways, and the greatest of these curves is around 50 degrees. Kurtis grew up south of Ottawa, out in the countryside, and it was here that golf started on an old driving range when he was just three years old. Kurtis ended going to the course when he was about seven years old and has been addicted to the game ever since.
Kurtis Barkley says: "We're all humans, we miss; that's the nature of golf, get good misses."
