About this Book
A multitalented combination of Dave Barry, P. J. O'Rourke, and Rick
Reilly, David Feherty is the nation's wackiest and most popular on-screen
golf personality. His back-of-the-book "Sidespin" column
is the most turned- to feature in Golf Magazine, and his unmistakable
Irish lilt and sensibility is a mainstay on CBS Sports golf broadcasts.
But what of his rumored dark Irish sense of humor? What does Feherty
really think-- and cannot share on national television-- about the
Sturm und Drang of the professional golfing world? Or, for that matter,
what does he think is the appropriate diet for those of us who like
to partake of a wee bit of adult beverage in the evening? Now, at
long last, readers can distill Feherty's uncensored brand of idiocy
for themselves.
Sure to put a smile on the crankiest duffer in the family, Somewhere
in Ireland, A Village is Missing an Idiot answers the question all
Feherty fans have been asking themselves for a yearŠ who is this guy
and why is he here?
Praise
"A virtual literary whoopee cushion... A raunchy, randy, riotous
farce." --Sports Illustrated
"Work on your abs before reading A Nasty Bit of Rough, because
your stomach is going to get a workout from laughing out loud."
--Gary McCord, CBS golf analyst and senior PGA Tour player
"A pure delight... Every golf nut will love this book."
--Dan Jenkins
"The Naked Gun of golf literature." --Publishers Weekly
