Barb Hanlin came on board in July 2018 to the CGA. Barb, the daughter of a WWII submariner, was born in Honolulu while her father was stationed in Hawaii. A military transfer moved her family to Northern Virginia, where she and her siblings grew up.
Barb’s first golf experience was to take an eight-week golf training program with the instructors at Army Navy Country Club in Virginia. Then, in 2015, she and her husband, Mike, built their forever home in Southern Pines, N.C., at Mid South Club. After moving to the area, she began taking golf lessons from the club’s professionals as a surprise for her husband. Later that year, she played in her first golf tournament, and their team won!
Barb has a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from George Mason University, Fairfax, VA. She later earned a graduate certificate in forensic science from George Mason. She has also completed coursework offered by the University of Mary Washington’s School of Business in Fredericksburg, VA. In addition to Barb’s work experience in clinical and forensic laboratories, she has significant work experience in public procurement and office administration.
When asked about this opportunity, she stated, "I am excited about being part of the CGA family, providing support to the staff and golfers in the Carolinas, and helping promote this wonderful game."
Barb has two daughters, Whitney and Jackie, a granddaughter, Riley, and a grandson, Kellan.
