Butch Lumpkin is one of the kids which were affected by a drug that were taken by their moms during the period 1950 to 1960. The infants were later known as "Thalidomide Babies", as one of the kids who stayed alive, however the effects on him were glaring, especially on both of his arms, which have been said to be shorter than the normal length. His birthplace was Atlanta, Georgia, during his younger years, he was very much involved in soccer & tennis, both at Chamblee High School, as well as in Mercer University, respectively.

One of his goal in sports is being elevated into a pro athlete, despite his short hands. Among his primary motivation was the love of her parents for his passion on the chosen sports. By the time he finished college, Butch, found work at Horshoe Bend Country Club, wherein he achieved his feat of turning professional as a Tennis player.

It was during his stint at the club where he worked, that someone opened his mind to shift his focus in Golf, thus "using a 63-inch driver, Butch is phenomenal at the sport. He just recently accomplished his first hole in one. The odds of the average golfer achieving that goal are 8,000 to 1!"
