    BACHELOR NATION- He's one of the faces of the franchise- BEN HIGGINS talks "The Bachelor", friendships within "Bachelor Nation" and of course, his love for golf

    Bachelor Nation loves him and he loves them right back. Originally a contestant on "The Bachelorette" (on Kaitlyn's season), he was ousted right after Fantasy Suites (ouch!). Then he became one of the most popular Bachelors in the history of the show. But there's so much more to BEN HIGGINS, and we talk about it all on this episode of The Approach Shot.

    All Star AND All Pro? Yep! 2 sport star BRIAN JORDAN talks baseball, football and GOLF! So, maybe he's really a 3 sport star!

    When you think of 2 sport stars, the names Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders and Brian Jordan are the three best of our generation. Brian Jordan understand the natural comparisons and talks about his love for both sports along with his love for golf! Brian won awards in the NFL and MLB but then, became an award winning broadcaster. Is there anything this man can't do?

    We get a KICK out of our conversation with long time MINNESOTA VIKINGS punter and broadcaster Greg "Coffin Corner" Coleman on this episode of The Approach Shot

    First off, he has no business looking or sounding as good as he does, now that he has turned 70. But Greg Coleman is nothing but surprises. A punter by trade, he is also a member of the State of Florida Track and Field Hall of Fame. You think that's surprising? Wait until you hear the rest of our conversation on this episode of The Approach Shot.

    Gonzo Gates, GH and Golf- Gregory Harrison, one of the greatest actors of our generation graces our stage on this episode of The Approach Shot

    What a joy, discussing a 50 year acting career with one of the all time greats! GREGORY HARRISON has been on the big screen, the little screen and on stage since they were filming on his Dad's boat on Catalina Island when he was a teenager. I can't list everything he has been in, but it started with MASH in 1975, then Trapper John MD (Gonzo Gates) and wound through Falcon Crest, General Hospital, and currently on 911 and on Hallmark Channel's Signed, Sealed, Delivered and much more.

    Ernie Whitt- MLB's Canadian Hero from Detroit

    He is practically royalty in Canada, being a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and a beloved All Star catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In fact, he was the last "original" member of the Jays. But his story started in suburban Detroit and dipped down into Southwest Virginia. He was actually drafted by the Red Sox, not the Jays. His story is fascinating, fun and full of highlights.

    "Ballers" and Bruins- Donovan Carter (Vernon Littlefield on "Ballers") talks football, life lessons and his 5 year run on a hugely popular TV show

    When you play college football for one of LA's biggest college football programs, that doesn't guarantee you a part in a wildly popular TV show. Donovan Carter is the exception to that rule. Through good luck, hard work and persistence, Donovan landed the part of Vernon Littlefield on HBO's hugely successful "Ballers" (starring Dwayne Johnson).
