When Barb Schmitt won a free trip to Palm Beach through her work, she figured she’d soak up some sun and take golf lessons just to try something new. Little did she know that the first time she’d tee off and send the ball flying, she would fall in love with the game. She even impressed her golf teacher when she sank a shot with her nine iron from ninety yards out.

The Open Range

Now, when she’s not busy helping her clients, you’re likely to find this successful businesswoman at the driving range trying to improve her swing. “I love everything about it,” says Barb, “being outside, the art of picking the right club, teaching your body the mechanics and seeing the results sail into the air.”

Always 100 Percent

It’s characteristic of how Barb approaches everything in life—from practicing every day to make the cheerleading squad in high school, to reading everything she can get her hands on to increase her business knowledge. When Barb finds something she enjoys, she puts all her energy and drive into being the best she possibly can be.

Family and Faith

But perhaps what Barb likes most about golf is the fact that she and her husband can enjoy it together. Family is Barb’s top priority. It doesn’t matter if they’re at a baseball game, a museum, on vacation at a North Carolina beach, or simply playing a game of ping pong, if she’s with her husband and daughter, it’s exactly what she wants to be doing.

Barb’s faith is also important to her and it inspires her to give back to others. Through missions organized by consortium of several churches, Barb has been to Africa to build a leprosarium, Guatemala to help repair a school and to the Kentucky mountains to help provide dental care to low income families. “It helps put your life in perspective,” says Barb.
