Beau Welling is a multifaceted designer who works with Tiger Woods on golf course projects and serves as president of the World Curling Federation .

Welling has a physics degree from Brown and an international business degree from South Carolina .

He was hired by the PGA of America to lay out the Fields Ranch West Course at Omni PGA Frisco Resort in Texas .

PGA Frisco is a public-funded golf course in the city of Frisco , Texas .

It's the same place as Augusta National , which challenges the best male and female players once a year.

The volume of play at a private course will be less than that at a public course, so you have to start sizing things appropriately.

Designer: "This is not our granddads' golf resort, and there's something that’s super cool about that" Designer: I'm very proud of it because to me and of course I’m biased the whole environment is a manifestation of a really good step for the game of golf in a direction that is more open.
