Reviews
"John Feinstein's new biography of the golfer and commentator is rich with anecdotes and a glimpse of his darker side.... John Feinstein's entertaining new book, Feherty , captures it all -- and adds a few moreover-the-top tales to the Feherty legend.... Feinstein writes in a book that shows, again, the author's ability to get his subjects to open up."-- The Washington Post, "Feinstein tells the tale of a middle-tier Irish golf professional who finds success as the resident funnyman on American golf telecasts and then as the surprisingly insightful host of a prime-time interview show on the Golf Channel...Off-stage, though, he was haunted by sadness. This is a theme that Mr. Feinstein explores with sympathy, aided by Mr. Feherty's own unflinching self-analysis." -- The Wall Street Journal, "An affectionate portrait of the popular Northern Irish golfer and commentator. Interviewing numerous people in Feherty's orbit as well as the man himself, prolific sportswriter Feinstein profiles his good friend in an engaging biography. He nimbly chronicles his subject's early years in his usual crisp, polished prose....Terrific personal anecdotes pepper the text, providing both frivolity and insights into the game."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Remarkable, and a compelling roller coaster ride about one of my favorite persons. Great book."-- Jay Bilas, ESPN

Synopsis
The definitive biography of enigmatic golfer, commentator, and performer David Feherty--one of the most universally beloved figures in the game. John Feinstein, who has spent four decades finding intriguing sports characters and narratives and turning them into classic books, chronicles the life and career of David Feherty. The two have known each other for years, beginning with Feinstein's work on A Good Walk Spoiled , researched and written at a time when Feherty was an excellent player, who won five times in Europe and was on the '91 Ryder Cup team, but also a functioning alcoholic. In retirement from the game, Feherty has sobered up, while his golf world persona has only grown in stature. Feherty is now a grand ambassador for golf, a man who is feted by US Presidents and respected by every big name in the game. Feinstein tells hilarious true tales about Feherty's time in the limelight and interactions with stars such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Payne Stewart, and Seve Ballesteros. He also details Feherty's struggles with alcoholism, the death of his son who was lost to addiction, and the highs and lows of Feherty's marriages. Feinstein captures the human being behind the athlete, and his triumphant rebound as a golf commentator after his athletic career fell apart. Feherty is fall-down-funny, self-deprecating, and a lifelong underdog who has thrived as a commentator and television interview host, and most recently as a touring standup comic, using the difficult experiences of his life as a source for humor and understanding, which Feinstein mines with an expert's touch., From the bestselling author of A Season on the Brink and A Good Walk Spoiled comes the definitive biography of enigmatic golfer, commentator, and performer David Feherty--one of the most universally beloved figures in the game.

- e***s (6)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSeller promptly responded to inquiries with the requested information. Provided images of the condition of the product. Dust jacket slightly beaten up - to be expected. Complete absence of defects inside the book apart from a slight defect on the corner of the front page. Was shipped in good time, but shipping was costly (although it was shipped from the US to UK). Overall, very happy with both the product and the seller. I would buy from this seller again.
