About this episode
In this episode of Linked By Golf, host Ross McGuire is joined by Chris Bell, the Director of Membership at The National KC, a world-class golf course designed by the legendary Tom Watson.
Before stepping into the world of golf, Chris represented Scotland in badminton—a testament to his competitive spirit and athleticism. He shares how he eventually made the switch to golf after discovering an old Dunlop 9-iron in his dad’s shed, and how that moment sparked a lifelong journey that’s led him to one of the most exciting roles in American golf today.
Ross and Chris dive into what makes The National KC so unique, the importance of creating community within a golf club, and the unforgettable day Chris met and played with Tom Watson himself.
