Fiery and competitive, that's what made Wally Backman a World Series champion and he is our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot

Sunday, December 22, 2024 • Duration 01:03:07

What a way to wrap up 2024! Nothing like having a conversation with a member of the 1986 Miracle Mets and a WORLD SERIES CHAMPION.
WALLY BACKMAN is our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot and yes, he was part of the team that broke the Red Sox faithful's hearts. He too, watched Mookie Wilson's ball go under Bill Buckner's glove, but has a different perspective on that play and others.
He also gave back so much to the game he loves by managing in the Minor Leagues and was able to impart wisdom and fire in his players. That love and fire also exist in his golf game and we enjoyed every second of our conversation with WALLY BACKMAN!
Have a listen!

"Professional hitter" Pete LaCock tells stories of MLB, his rivalry with Bob Gibson and his famous family on this episode of The Approach Shot

Sunday, October 6, 2024 • Duration 54:53

To a baseball purist, Pete LaCock was a dangerous hitter. His eye, his plate discpline and his ability to come through in the clutch allowed him to have a terrific 9 year MLB career before playing in Japan. But it's his love for the game, his rivalry with Hall of Famer Bob Gibson, and his famous family (and their friends) that make this such an endearing conversation with a great storyteller.

If you're a Cubs fan, Royals fan, fan of Hollywood Squares, My Three Sons, The Dick Van Dyke Show or just of great stories, this episode is a must listen with Pete LaCock. (listen closely and you can hear his wife "helping" Pete with his stories. We got a 2-1!!)

Best Of The Six Packs Volume 1

Episode 53

Sunday, December 26, 2021 • Duration 42:36

This week the Approach Shot goes back into the archives for some Holiday Cheer. We have picked three of what we think are the best, the funniest, the most interesting, the most entertaining of the 6Pack segments. Each week we ask our guests a series of 5 questions where we admonish them to give us the first answer that pops into their heads. This way, you get a peek into their minds and learn a little bit on a deeper level what these folks are all about. This week we include the 6Pack segments of Baseball Great, Brett Boone as well as LPGA Legend Jane Blalock and Actor Mathew Laurance from “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Eddie And The Cruisers”.Support the show

He Heckles Golfers For A Living

Episode 49

Sunday, November 28, 2021 • Duration 01:04:44

J Marc Chambers is a comedian and a golfer. He has friends that are comedians and golfers. They decided to create a business that incorporates both golf and comedy. Add to those two the element of fundraising and you have their business, Hole Hecklers. J Marc and his friends will come out to your golf outing, charity scramble, even a client appreciation day, and set up shop on a par 3 hole. Unless they are paid by the golfers (to raise funds for the charity involved with the golf outing) they will heckle the golfers as they try to tee off. It is impossible to hit a good shot while you are laughing your ass off. Trust us, we’ve tried. You can also pay extra to get your buddy heckled mercilessly. It’s fun. It’s funny. And it’s a great way to raise some money on the golf course for a worthwhile cause. It also makes for one helluva funny hour of gold podcast. Listen now to J Marc Chambers from Hole Hecklers, this week’s guest on The Approach Shot Podcast.Support the show
