The Influencer — Chad Smith

He grew up in Stanton, Texas — trap and skeet champion at nine, all-state in football and basketball, a state title at 16–0, then a knee that ended that chapter. He served in the Army until 2007, came home through injury, and found the game that gave him peace: golf.

Scratch golfer. Brand ambassador. He teaches kids locally, travels when the fairway calls, and still talks about his family’s part in the story.
