All Walt cares about is finding the Lost Dutchman Mine in Arizona's Superstition Mountains, and it shows in his playing. Some wonder how he can keep his job in "No Rules" while persuing lost gold and running a wildly successful industrial supplies company. Walt started "No Rules" when it became apparent to him that he was not going to make it on the PGA Tour. The result is a great-sounding band that plays the R&B, soul, and rock 'n roll that he loves. Walt says, "Come on out and we'll keep you dancin' from start to finish".
