Barry Lane

Early life Lane was born in Hayes, Middlesex but grew up in Bracknell. He took up golf at age 14 and became an assistant professional at Downshire Golf Club in 1976, at age 16. He worked there for 8 years.

Professional career Lane first played on the European Tour in 1982, after three failed attempts at Q-School. From 1982 to 1984 he had little success on the tour, playing only a small number of events, and failed to qualify for the tour in 1985. The win earned him a place in the World Assistants' Championship in Florida in December, which he won by 6 strokes.

Lane qualified for the European Tour again in 1986 and, playing 20 events, finished 71st in the Order of Merit.

Lane played 26 successive seasons, from 1986 to 2011, on the European Tour.
