David Feherty Interview

A Light Hearted Interview With David Feherty

Turn on any CBS golf telecast and you'll find him roaming the fairways adding his quick wit. Switch over to Golf Channel and his infectiously funny self-titled interview show is in the midst of it's third season. And finally, pick up any major publication as it's a safe bet the random musings of the 10-time professional winner are somewhere within the pages. And since we all can't get enough of Feherty, GolfTrips.com is thrilled to present nineteen off-the-wall questions to a man who lives with no walls; that sounds like the makings of what we call a good read.

1) You can play only one course before passing - St. Andrews/Augusta National/Pebble Beach/or other and why?
Before passing what - a kidney stone? It's a real toss-up between St. Andrews and Royal County Down. I am a County Down boy. But I did win the Dunhill Cup at St. Andrews and I captained the Irish side so it's always a special place for me. And I broke my nose playing the 18th hole at 3:00 am - it was pitch dark and I fell right on my face into the Swilken burn.

2) Who would be in your dream foursome - past or present and why?
My father who is present, but has passed as he suffers from Alzheimer's Disease, Jessica Biel- I'm not sure she plays but I'd like to play with her, Jack Nicklaus because he's the only one of the modern era that I didn't get to play with, and Winston Churchill.
