T homas Curry closed his eyes on the first tee box to say a prayer before his first shot, just like he always had. When he opened his eyes, things were blurry. What suddenly came into focus was the hog on his chest; that was different. He looked around. He saw the trees, the fairway, and his parents watching from a distance. He took a breath. He grabbed his driver. It was go time. Thomas Curry, son of Caroline and Dr. Andrew (Andy) Curry, is Texarkana’s golf protégé turned Arkansas Razorback after a decorated career at Texas High School. In four years, Curry earned 14 wins, including the 2023 University Interscholastic League’s 5A individual state title. Curry grew up approximately 150 yards from the driving range of Texarkana Country Club, and, according to his parents, spent most of the hours he was not at school, practicing.
