## Resource

John Ashworth changed the way golfers dress. In 1987, he launched Ashworth Golf with $685,000 and a belief that golf clothes didn't have to be ugly. By 1992, Fred Couples was winning the Masters in his designs. After leaving his namesake company in 1997, John co-founded Linksoul and saved Goat Hill Park from developers. Now, 27 years later, he's back at Ashworth as Creative Director.
