Tales of a Survivor: The Wit and Wisdom of David Feherty
Thursday, March 1
8 am - 9 am, Las Vegas Hotel, Paradise South
David Feherty
Who knows what will come out of the mouth of David Feherty? After all, even he doesn’t know.
Golf’s premier funnyman pays a visit to the Golf Industry Show and will spin stories like no other. A former assistant greenkeeper, the Northern Ireland native turned professional golfer at 17.
Today he is a commentator for CBS and the Golf Channel, and the host of a widely acclaimed weekly show on the Golf Channel. He is popular on the speaking circuit and the author of six books, including his latest “The Power of Positive Idiocy.”
Feherty has 10 worldwide professional wins to his credit and despite his self-deprecating style, was considered a solid player, especially in team, match-play competition. But it is off the court where Feherty has captured his biggest wins.
Afflicted with depression and battling alcoholism, he has persevered and reached out to others to help them in their struggles. He is also a supporter of and a volunteer for wounded Special Forces, Green Berets and other U.S. heroes.
