Jim Barfield was a key member of the Cure Putters team in his role as the Vice President of Professional Tour Operations. He worked primarily out on the Champions Tour but also helped with the strategic planning and the product road map for the company. Prior to joining Cure Putters, Barfield was the CEO of Rife Putters and enjoyed much success there as well.
