Don Curtis (golfer)


Donald Allen Curtis was an English professional golfer.
In 1926 he lost in a playoff for the Findlater Shield, the assistants' championship. He had tied with Walter Thomas but lost the 18-hole playoff after a disappointing 82.
Curtis's first big success was when he won the 1936 News Chronicle Tournament. Curtis reached the semi-final of the 1937 News of the World Match Play where he lost to Percy Alliss by 1 hole. The following year he won the Dunlop-Southport Tournament at Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club, beating Arthur Lees by 2 strokes and taking the £315 first prize. Later in 1938, he was one of the runners-up in the News Chronicle Tournament behind Reg Whitcombe.
