"He's here about three to four times a week—usually playing 9 or 12 holes," Kawartha Golf's General Manager Kevin Greenwood tells PTBOCanada. "He prefers to play alone."
Dunfield joined Kawartha when he was 18 years old, after moving here from Toronto where he took a job at General Electric.
A terrific athlete as a kid in many sports—swimming, softball, hockey, track, curling, rugby—he was golf champion prior to joining Kawartha, having won the junior title at Humber Valley in 1932.

His wife, Jean—who passed away in 2009 at age 91—also won multiple club and city championships.
