Host - Wally
A podcast where I, Wally, an amateur golfer and fan of the game will be talking golf…plain and simple, right? You’re probably asking why another golf podcast? And I would respond…WHY NOT!? I’ll be talking about big news going on in the game of golf at the professional level and amateur level, where my own golf game is at and what I’m working on to get better each day, and my words of wisdom that I also hesitate to relay but I get asked different questions here and there so I’ll reveal my thoughts and opinions and look forward to see who all would agree or disagree.
I don’t know everything about golf and maybe my thought process is wrong sometimes which is where I hope others can get me back on the right track.
I also look to have a guest on the podcast to bring us insight, knowledge, and much more to this podcast and the golfer fans out there.
So…with that being said, let’s go low!
On this episode of That's Too Bad, Wally covers the start of the 2025 season on the PGA. First in Hawaii, with Matsuyama's record scoring tournament win and an equipment change in his bag. Then we cover, briefly, the Sony Open, the American Express, and Farmers Insurance Open. Won by Nick Taylor, Sepp Straka, and Harris English. From there, Wally covers some of his future picks for the upcoming majors this season, do you agree or disagree? On the flip side, Wally brings up some of the major changes that have occurred on the LIV tour heading into their 2025 season and will this be good or bad for the potential PGA/LIV merger? Also enjoy the conversation between Wally and Acorn Hills Co Founder, Nate Hryn. Nate joins the podcast to talk about his product, how he came up with this in college, what separates his products from others, and so much more! And don't forget to listen for that 15% off code, as we have now teamed up with Acorn Hills to be ambassadors. Look good, feel good, pay less...and go low!

That's Too Bad - Episode 006
On this episode, Wally goes way back to the PGA Championship with Xander's close out round on Sunday to win his first major. Scottie gets arrested on his way to the PGA day two. And his take on why the low scoring did not bother him because major golf should have many in contention and come down to the final hole. We go back and talk about Bryson DeChambeau's awesome victory at Pinehurst #2 for the 124th US Open and Rory's missed putt on the 18th hole. We talk about how Bryson has been firing on all cylinders all year, how good he has been for the game of golf, and how Rory storming off because he lost was not a good look for him. Wally covers some funny story lines with Charley Hull and Boo Weekley. And we cover something that is difficult to speak on, the death of Grayson Murray, and his struggle with mental illiness.

That's Too Bad - Episode 004 - Masters Hangover
On this episode, Wally goes back a few weeks to an exciting Masters Tournament and talks about the good, the bad, and even the ugly we all saw that week. Highlighting certain players (Scheffle, Homa, Aberg, DeChambeau, Tiger, and amateur Shipley) that shined in different ways during the Masters. Also, the conditions we saw either in person or on tv that the players had to battle through, especially the first two days. Wally also goes back a month or so to a comment Wyndham Clark makes about the state of golf and the format he would like to see it go towards. See if Wally agrees with Wyndham or not! You know we had to circle back to our favorite Korn Ferry caddy, JP Burke, and check in how him and Austin Hitt have been doing lately. Wally rounds out the episode with changes amatuer/weekend golfers try to make during a round that they should not try to do until they can work on them on the range. He also does mention a couple minor tweaks to make when a swing may not be going well during the round that won't hurt the game. Wally covers what his four quick adjustments/tips are. Hopefully they may help your next round of golf! Cause at the end of the day we all want TO GO LOW!
