DAVID FEHERTY QUOTES

Bingo Liner

David Feherty is a Golf Channel announcer who finds very unique, colorful and uninhibited ways of explaining or describing whatever is on his mind.

 David Feherty Quotes: “Fortunately, he (Rory McIIroy) is 22 years old so his right wrist should be the strongest muscle in his body.” 

 “That ball is so far left, Lassie couldn’t find it if it was wrapped in bacon.” 

 “I am sorry Nick Faldo couldn’t be here this week. He is attending the birth of his next wife.”

 Jim Furyk’s swing - “It looks like an octopus falling out of a tree.” 

 Describing VJ Singh's prodigious practice regime - "VJ Singh hits more balls than Elton John's chin."

 "That's a great shot with that swing." 

 "It's OK - the bunker stopped it." 

 At Augusta 2011 - "It's just a glorious day. The only way to ruin a day like this would be to play golf on it."

 "That was a great shot - if they'd put the pin there today."

 "Everything moves except his bowels." 

 "Watching Phil Mickelson play golf is like watching a drunk chasing a balloon near the edge of a cliff." 

 "That green appears smaller than a Pygmy's nipple."

Views from EYEMOUTH and TURNBERRY

A great picture of the view from the clubhouse at Turnberry.
