Barry Douglas Lane was born in Hayes, Middlesex, England, but grew up in Bracknell.
Barry took up golf at 14 and became an assistant professional at Downshire Golf Club aged 16. He was an assistant at the club for eight years.
He was married and made an emotional trip to Mauritius with his wife, Camilla, last month. The trip was for the Legends Tour season-ending MCB Tour Championship.
Although very ill, Barry was able to say goodbye to his contemporaries and friends and to present the Rookie of the Year trophy, renamed in his honor, to Brazil’s Adilson Da Silva.
Fellow player Paul McGinley said he was the “sweetest guy to the very end” and attended despite being in very ill health, which “says a lot about his bravery and the close kinship and friendships we all form on tour.”
Barry leaves behind his wife Camilla and kids from his first marriage, Elliot, Emma, and Benjamin.
The PGA has extended their heartfelt condolences to them, his other family members, and a legion of friends.
