The purchase also came with a trove of out-of-use equipment and vintage golf clubs he plans to restore. He has since named the project Fairway Fields."

His videos struck a chord, helping Fairway Fields attract nearly 800,000 followers across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, with many clips reaching millions of views. "Has potential to be the greatest TikTok series of all time," one TikTok user wrote. "My new life goal: buying an abandoned golf course with the boys," joked another. A third user commented: "If I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs.""
