The Approach Shot is our golf “flavored” podcast. We call it golf flavored because we talk with our guests about the careers (on and off the field), their lives, their passions and (what sets us apart) their personal golf game.Our guests are athletes, actors, authors, announcers and more. We love to laugh and our guests tell amazing behind the scenes stories that will make you laugh, feel and think. Listen. Enjoy.
