Carl Lee III was not heavily recruited out of high school by D1 teams. He accepted an offer from Marshall University in Huntington WVa. He was from Charleston WVa so Marshall was the obvious choice. He won a total of 8 games in his 4 years there. He was drafted in the 7th round by the Vikings. He was told he was too small, too slow to make it in the NFL. He was cut before his rookie year started, but was brought back in 4 days because of an injury to the player above him on the depth chart. 12 years later Carl is recognized as one of the 50 greatest Minnesota Vikings of ALL TIME! Carl’s is a wonderful story on what a person can accomplish if they don’t believe the naysayers. And Carl has some terrific insights into his golf game too. Another fantastic interview with one of the world;s most interesting people, Carl Lee III this week on The Approach Shot Podcast.Support the show

Garrett Johnston has covered golf for outlets around the world for more than a decade, including the hometown papers of most players on the PGA Tour. He also has contributed to GolfDigest.com, Golf.com, USOpen.com, China Daily, The Irish Examiner and New Zealand Golf Magazine. Sadly, he has not improved his golf handicap since he left high school, and covering 30 major championship hasn’t helped him through osmosis. But he does regale us this week with some terrific stories from some of the most prestigious golf tournament that he is lucky enough to cover. We coax the good stuff from him. Listen and enjoy.Support the show

Joe Greiner is this week’s guest on The Approach Shot Podcast. Joe is Max Homa’s caddy. Joe is also Max’s boyhood friend. They grew up together, played golf together, and are both pretty good golfers. In fact, Joe holds a course record at the course they both grew up playing. He only rubs it in a few times a year.

And to prove it, we have a blast talking about it. Give a listen. We guarantee you will laugh your butt off.Support the show

We spend some time with Tony Casillas, former defensive stud for the Dallas Cowboys. The man has two large hands, each with a Superbowl Ring. His hands may be large, but they are soft. Yes, Mr. soft hands is killer on the golf course. He carries a 6 handicap but still won't play with Romo. Listen this week to some fun, funny, entertaining conversation with Tony Casillas of the Dallas Cowboys on The Approach Shot Podcast.Support the show

This week on The Approach Shot Podcast we feature conversations with author Jim Flynn. Now don’t get confused (like we did). There are 5 other authors on Amazon named Jim Flynn, so ours calls himself Jim Flynn Six. Jim comes from the world of finance so that’s the setting for what he calls his Financial Thrillers”. J.R. is the main character. J.R. is an avid golfer and a terrific golfer, even playing at Augusta with Jack Nicklaus as his partner (it was a very bad year for Jack). So, Jim’s first book: “Be Sincere: Even When You Don’t Mean It” is not only a hilarious read, but words to live by. Check out Jim’s website, jimflynnsix.com and listen to this week’s episode of The Approach Shot Podcast.Support the show
