Profile:
Curtis was born and raised in North Bay Ontario and golf was in his blood at an early age. Curtis was introduced to the game at 13 years old by a member of the Canadian PGA named Glenn Cundari. He was a past president of the PGA of Canada and speaks about golf instructing/coaching development around the world.
