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!

Dashing and Handsome? CHECK!
Sharp witted? HECK YEAH!
A great friend to Wells Adams and Joey Graziadei? YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Happily married? UH HUH.
Golf nut? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

BEN HIGGINS is all of those things plus an amazing business man who runs a coffee business whose proceeds helps other non profits around the world. He's also a hilarious and great guest and we have him on this week's episode of The Approach Shot.

This is a must listen for BACHELOR NATION and even non fans of The Bachelor (gasp!)

He loves golf almost as much as he loves hitting a WR across the middle. His love for Missouri is only matched by his love for his adopted home- Atlanta. An All Star for the St. Louis Cardinals and a Pro Bowl (alternate) for the Atlanta Falcons, Brian Jordan's excellence didn't care which sport he played (though he admits to loving the contact of hitting a wide receiver over the middle more than hitting a home run).

These days his love for Atlanta extends to his Brian Jordan Foundation which provides scholarships for deserving students.

And when he talks about his annual Brian Jordan Celebrity Golf Tournament, his pride lit up the room.
