Golf Having a Good Week

I’ve seen two things in the past three days that made me feel good about golf: Rory McIlroy winning the U.S. Open and David Feherty’s new unfiltered interview show (Feherty) on Golf Channel. While we’re on the subject of Feherty, here’s an excerpt from a candid (does he do any other kind?) interview in the Fort Worth Star- Telegram.
Q: You are an admitted alcoholic; do you miss drinking?
DF: I miss the friends I used to drink with. I know this is a disease. I was at a speaking engagement once and I picked up a drink that I thought was a club soda with lime; it turned out to be a gin and tonic. I spit it out over the first three rows. I shook for, like, two days. You’re a drunk, or you’re not. If I have one drink, I will die. I am sober, but my disease is in the parking lot doing pushups and getting stronger.
