    Denver is a professional golf caddie hailing from Lakeland, FL. Originally from small town Ohio, his family moved to the bustling city of Tampa, FL when he was in middle school. He got involved in all types of sports and eventually gravitated to wresting and learned a lot of life lessons along the way.

    After graduating from high school, Denver joined the US Navy and served as a flight captain in various capacities while deployed throughout the world for four years. During his tenure he discovered the game of golf which turned into a lifelong passion.

    After many years working as a project manager in the building business, the opportunity to become a caddie at Pinehurst presented itself. From that point, Denver learned to become a professional and he continues with that passion today.

    In this episode, Kevin and Denver Longmire discuss Denver's journey to becoming a professional caddie and they also compare notes to becoming successful on the golf course. Denver is a really interesting character and tells some great stories with style. This episode is well worth a listen and if you love golf then you are a friend of mine.

  • Van Earl Wright Returns - Finding Joy on the Golf Course
    May 5 2025

    Van Earl Wright is an American television sportscaster, news anchor and journalist with over 30 years of national and local experience.

    A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Wright is known for a homespun delivery which reflects his Southern roots. His signature greeting is "Hel-looooo, everybody."

    Broadcasting career
    Fox Sports Net (FSN)
    For much of the late 1990s until the summer of 2007, Wright worked for Fox Sports Net, serving chiefly as an anchor of both the National Sports Report and FSN Final Score, both attempts at competing with ESPN's SportsCenter. He also hosted and anchored for Fox Sports West, including their regional NSR companion, the Southern California Sports Report. During his stint at FSN, he was most notable for his staunch support and adulation of Kobe Bryant of the L.A. Lakers.

    CNN
    Wright is a former anchor at both CNN Headline News and CNN/Sports Illustrated, which put together reflects the longest tenure of his career. He also co-hosted Fox Sports Radio's Morning Extravaganza.

    Even though he was never shown on-air, Wright's voice became legendary during Headline News' sports segments during the 1980s at 19 and 49 minutes after the hour, especially for his elongated pronunciation of 'Los An-ge-leees'. Late in his tenure, he also routinely read his dry mandated sign-off ("I'm Van Earl Wright, CNN Headline Sports") with a series of increasingly bizarre inflections. His segment got noted on-air by Larry King and Al Michaels, among others.

    Wright provided the announcer's voice for Crystal Dynamics' Sega Saturn baseball video game 3D Baseball and 3DO basketball game Slam 'n Jam 95.

    World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and other appearances
    Wright also provided the voice overs for World Championship Wrestling in the 90's during segments promoting upcoming live events.

    On February 22, 2007 Wright participated on a special broadcasters' edition of Pros vs. Joes on Spike TV with Derrin Horton and Sal Masakela. The "pros" they faced were former NBA center Rik Smits, tennis pro Robby Ginepri, former MLB relief pitcher Rob Dibble and former NFL wide receiver Andre Rison.

    In January 2008, Wright became the voice of the new American Gladiators on NBC, which was hosted by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali.

    From 2012 until mid-2013, Wright provided the play by play commentary for the Lingerie Football League, until being replaced by league associates Jim Stews and Mitchell Mortaza.

    After 35 years of experience as a sportscaster, Van Earl is currently working throughout the USA as a traveling golf caddie.

    From Peachtree Golf Club to Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, The Honors Course, Shore Acres, PGA National, Whistling Straits, Sea Island and now Apogee, his workplace changes every 6 months.

    Opportunities for some fun play by play moments on the course are part of the excellent customer service that Van Earl provides his customers during a round of golf.

    In this episode, Kevin and Van Earl Wright discuss their shared experiences both in broadcasting and caddying. Van Earl is truly a fascinating character and has so many great stories to tell. This episode is surely a treat and if you love golf then you are a friend of mine.
