That’s Too Bad

That's Too Bad - Episode 012 - What Happened to Talor Gooch?

On this mini episode of That's Too Bad, Wally asks one question; what happened to Talor Gooch? Why is this being asked? Because in 2024 Talor Gooch makes headlines for comments he makes prior to the Masters and if Rory wins. Well Rory did not win then but won this year and..... Talor Gooch has been quiet. Why? Nothing has changed since 2024. Wally is not really attacking Talor but more diving in what happened back in 2024, why it was probably not warranted, and why have we not seen or heard much from in early in 2025 season. Plus, Wally continues to question if a LIV and PGA merger happens any time soon. All this on a mini episode. And as always...let's go low!

That's Too Bad - Episode 011 - From Augusta to Quail Hollow: McIlroy becomes Immortal and Scottie Heats Up

On this episode of That's Too Bad, Wally goes back a bit as it has been a few months since recording and covers the drama at Augusta this year with the Masters. From the unlikely Justin Rose leading after day 1 to Rory dominates day 2 and 3. And the dominate surge by J. Rose to push Rory into a playoff but ultimately Rory prevails and achieves the Career Grand Slam by winning his first green jacket. From there we jump a month forward to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and what a ride this second major was. After day 1 we had a leaderboard not like any other we have seen in recent years with unlikely names that could make their stamp in major history. From rainy and soft conditions, the first two days, to sunny skies and firm greens day 3 and day 4. Scottie shows the world once again why he is the #1 golfer in the world after a surge on Saturday and holding off a group of golfers aiming to take him down Sunday. Scottie conquers the Green Mile while others became victim, and Scottie is our PGA Champion in 2025. Wally brings us another tip in the Amateur Golf Corner where he breaks down the significance in establishing a pre-shot routine no matter the skill level in your golf game and how this will alter your golf game for the better. Don't miss out! Give us a like, give us a follow, and as always...let's go low!

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.

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.

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.

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.
