    On this episode, Adam and Brian sit down with Ashley Young, owner, superintendent, and second-generation steward of a truly special property called The Fields.

    Ashley's story comes full circle. His dad, Mike Young, originally designed and built the course back in '89. Decades later, Ashley now leads the very land his family shaped from the ground up, carrying the vision forward while putting his own stamp on it.
