Shane is an award-winning golf instructor, and has worked at Belfair GC in South Carolina, Knollwood Club in Illinois and Cherry Hills CC in Denver. In addition to managing operations and admin for Shane’s instruction business, Ashley has held retail and merchandizing roles at Berkeley Hall Club in South Carolina, The Mirabel Club in Arizona and Cherry Hills. In 2024, the couple – along with founding partners Mitch Kovitz and Matt Green, and with professional golfer and former world number one David Duval as an investor – seized on the opportunity to purchase The Links at Stoney Point in Greenwood, South Carolina. With a golf course, designed in 1990 by Tom Jackson, along the shoreline of Lake Greenwood, the LeBarons’ vision has been to develop an entirely new identity for the property and its facilities. That vision was to become Olde Eight Golf Club.
