R. L. Young
After his undergraduate studies were completed in Idaho, Hawaii and California, Mr. Young returned to his hometown of Indianapolis where he worked in city government and completed post-graduate studies at Indiana university. Not long thereafter he joined his family-owned real estate investment brokerage, R.L. Young Company, specialists in commercial and multi-family properties, with an emphasis on Historical preservations. Rob thrived with the firm for more than 34 years.
Mr. Young discovered golf offers an escape from day to day business problem solving, an outlet where one can have a moment of pleasure from executing a good shot and also benefit from making a few dollars from a friendly competitor.
Over the years, Rob has organized golf events for several international companies and charitable organizations. Several of these events included famous celebrities and well-known athletes. Among Mr. Young’s many accomplishments are three (3) holes-in-one, a finalist at the Oldsmobile Pro/Am Scramble and officiating numerous LPGA and PGA events. He is currently a member of the Indiana State Seniors Golf Association (ISSGA) and a member of the crew who perform golf course ratings for the Indiana Golf Association (IGA).
Mr. Young has shot his current age on numerous occasions, however, not simultaneously. He is active with the Plum Creek Senior Golf League and holds credentials as a master gardener. He can also be seen on the sidelines, as a member of the “chain gang,” during Butler University football games.
Rob has been an executive producer for several film and television projects since 1989.

Mr. Beverly has had a dedicated interest in golf projects since 1994, starting with the development of the mini-series “More Than a Game,” a chronicle about the achievements of minorities in golf over the past 85-years, based on Charlie Sifford’s book “Just Let Me Play.” With his writing partner Grace Lynn Goldman Bogey Men’s latest productions will incorporate the latest technology & gadgets, dazzling effects and stories that are universally compelling.
In Mr. Beverly’s own words, “Our television series are designed to appeal to both golfers and non-golfers alike, inspiring hundreds of thousands more to take up the sport, and naturally fall in love with it. It will be a bonanza for our sponsors, golf manufacturers and public courses especially.
