CBS golf reporter David Feherty is getting his own weekly prime-time show titled Feherty on The Golf Channel, according to Michael Hiestand of USA Today:
“He says the show, which will include interviews with people outside the pro golf world although Golf Channel would rather he not yet name names, will be “so different from what people are used to seeing. I can’t tell you I’m not jumpy about it. … And maybe because my life has been such a monumental (screw-up), I can ask them the probing questions about what they might have screwed up.”
As part of his new Golf Channel deal, Feherty will be involved it channel’s peripheral programming around tournaments. And for his primetime show, Feherty says he’s interested looking at “the periphery” of events, like the hardy volunteers at tournaments “who still hold up ‘quiet’ signs to beer and mustard-stained idiots – who ignore them – wearing outfits guaranteeing they’ll never (have sex) again. And they actually bought those clothes.””

Feherty is one of the most colorful golf announcers in the business. Kudos to The Golf Channel for giving the Northern Ireland native his own platform.
