Watch and listen above Beau Welling followed a peculiar path, from studying physics to designing golf courses – some with Tiger Woods – and eventually becoming the President of World Curling. Beau shares his origin story and how the cancellation of a European business trip provided the impetus to suddenly travel to Bemidji, Minnesota for the 2006 USA men’s curling championship. He also offers perspectives on how technology is impacting golf and curling and examines the challenges of self-officiating, suggesting potential approaches for curling to improve while maintaining honour and integrity – the bedrock of both sports’ Scottish roots. This three-part series includes images and video to enhance your podcast experience. Part 2 will be published shortly. The Curling Legends Podcast is fast approaching its 100th episode: be sure to search archived episodes here at The Curling News and/or via the Curling Legends homepage, plus the various pod streaming services.
