A PGA member since 1974, Wally has competed in over 300 PGA tour events. He still holds the Master's record for the lowest tournament score posted by a rookie at Augusta. He has competed in two British Open events, two Master's tournaments, and four PGA Championships. During his storied career, Wally was a front-runner on the PGA Tour, and led in over 30 tournaments, finishing 2nd in four events. Wally also finished in the top-ten 7 times during a single season. Because of his exceptional, consistent record, Wally was awarded a lifetime membership to the PGA tour; a truly rare honor accorded to all but a very few of the best PGA Golfers.
Wally has taught numerous PGA section teaching workshops. In keeping with Wally's desire to include the entire family in the game of golf, Wally has produced the Family Jamboree Program, a total family outing golf program that any pro can facilitate for any organization or ministry. The Jamboree also includes a videotape and manual. He has written magazine articles and several golf instruction and performance books, as well as pocket books for amateurs and pros alike.
