There's a moment in every parent's life where the illusion breaks. You realize you can't command your kids anymore... you can only convince them. For Wally, that moment came when his son drove away for the first time and he looked at his wife and said, "We have zero control."

What came next was golf. Not as a hobby — as a classroom.

Brayden once cried in Wally's arms after missing the putt that would've broken 100. That same kid, years later, finally beat his dad. And Wally had been quietly waiting for it the whole time.

"You can hit 300 yards. I'll hit 245. We'll shoot the same score."
