Florida Southern College

John Curley was a standout member of the Florida Southern College men's golf team from 1993 to 1996, helping lead the Moccasins to back-to-back NCAA Division II National Championships in 1995 and 1996. A three-time All-American — including two first-team selections — Curley was one of the most dominant collegiate golfers of his era. He was named the 1996 Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Male Athlete of the Year and earned All-SSC honors in all three of his collegiate seasons.
 
Known for his consistent excellence, Curley led the Mocs in stroke average for three straight years, posting a 73.77 in 1994 over 30 rounds, a 72.37 in 1995 over 41 rounds, and a career-best 71.76 in 1996 over 34 rounds. He graduated with a career stroke average of 72.57 and was later named to the SSC Silver Anniversary Men's Golf Team in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the sport and the conference. Curley was named by Golf Magazine as the No. 6 amateur golfer in the U.S. Following graduation, he competed for 10 years in various golf tours, including the PGA and Nationwide Tour.

When he retired from professional golf, Curley returned home to the Cape, where he has spent the last 15 years working with the HILB Group, previously Dowling & O'Neill Insurance. He is a member of the board of the Cape Cod Insurance Agents Association.
