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.
We get into the pride and pressure of managing a course with that kind of history, what it's like balancing ownership and superintendent responsibilities, and how he maintains such an incredible property year after year. Ashley also shares some absolute all-time stories, the kind only this industry can produce, from growing up around the course to running it today.
This episode is about legacy, leadership, family, and what it means to truly care for a piece of land. If you appreciate good turf, great people and real golf course culture, you'll love this one.
