Soly (Chris Solomon)

Chris Solomon · No Laying Up

Origin Story

An auditor whose golf group text became a Twitter account, Chris "Soly" Solomon co-founded No Laying Up and hosts one of the most popular podcasts in golf.

The Origin Story

Chris Solomon, known to fans as Soly, is a co-founder of No Laying Up and the longtime host of its flagship podcast.

How He Joined

Soly is where it started. He met Tron and Big Randy at Miami University in Ohio, and in 2013 he began sharing the friends' golf takes on Twitter. He kept working as an auditor at KPMG while the podcast was still a side project.

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.

Scratch Adjacent

A self-described "scratch adjacent player that thinks he's still a +2," Soly played in the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has helped build No Laying Up into the voice of the golf fan.
