David Feherty’s talents and wit transcend golf

July 5, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide Every once in a while a personality emerges on television who transcends the limited audience he or she reaches. And with that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to one David Feherty. For those who don’t watch professional golf, this is most likely the first time you have heard of this outspoken and hilarious Irishman. For golf enthusiasts, you are already aware of why Golf Channel gave him his own weekly talk show that bears his last name on Tuesday nights (9pm ET). In tonight’s episode, Feherty chats with legendary American golfer Tom Watson. […]

June 14, 2011 Ryan Berenz

The world’s best golfers hope for a better showing than they had last year at the U.S. Open, when Pebble Beach Golf Links absolutely punished the field. In the end, Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell (pictured) survived as the only player to match par for the tournament and became the first European since 1970 to win the U.S. Open. This year’s national championship heads to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., where Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, Luke Donald and Phil Mickelson hope for a title in the year’s second major. Tiger Woods withdrew due to a lingering injury in his left […]

Where to watch THE PLAYERS Championship golf tournament

May 12, 2011 Ryan Berenz

Golf’s unofficial “fifth major,” THE PLAYERS Championship, tees of today in northern Florida, meaning golfers are in for four days of angst and balls in the drink. The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass boasts three of the most difficult finishing holes on the PGA Tour, including the infamous “Island Green” at 17. At 137 yards, it’s a pitching wedge for the average pro, but with wind and an uneven landing area, it can make for more than a few triple bogeys. (Tiger Woods has withdrawn in the first round, citing injury.) GOLF CHANNEL and NBC have coverage of the tournament […]

Fore! Rush Limbaugh is a force on Golf Channel show

February 10, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Rush Limbaugh has never really been my cup of tea (or is that tea party), more so because of his brashness and arrogance than because of his politics. So you can imagine my dilemma when I heard he was going to be the next pupil on one my favorite shows, The Haney Project on the Golf Channel (Tuesdays, 9 pm ET). The program features Hank Haney – arguably the world’s best golf instructor – tutoring celebrities on their golf game. I loved the first two seasons of the series with NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and […]
