The Origin Story

Big Randy is No Laying Up's "Chief Fun Officer" and a fan favorite on its podcasts and travel series.

How He Joined

Randy is one of the original crew who came together at Miami University in Ohio. A Cincinnati native who grew up loving sports, he worked in public accounting, earned an MBA from Indiana University, and spent several years as a substitute teacher and basketball coach.

From a Group Text

No Laying Up started as a group text among college friends. In 2013 Soly began sharing the group's takes on Twitter, the website followed in January 2014, and the first podcast came out that April. More than a decade later, NLU's podcasts, films, and travel series have made it the voice of the golf fan.

The Places, the People, the Benches

Randy says his favorite things about No Laying Up are the places it takes him, the people it introduces him to, and the benches he's sat upon.
