In retirement from the game, Feherty has sobered up and his golf world persona has grown in stature. He is now a grand ambassador for golf; a man feted by US Presidents and respected by every big name in the game. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Feinstein tells hilarious true tales about Feherty's time in the limelight and interactions with stars such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Payne Stewart, and Seve Ballesteros. He also details Feherty's struggles with alcoholism, the death of his son who was lost to addiction, and the highs and lows of Feherty's marriages. Feinstein captures the human being behind the athlete, and his triumphant rebound as a golf commentator after his athletic career came to an end. Feherty is a fall-down-funny, self-deprecating lifelong underdog who has used the difficult experiences of his life as a source for humor and understanding, which Feinstein mines with an expert's touch.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Feinstein\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of forty-five books, including two #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers, \u003ci\u003eA Season on the Brink\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Good Walk Spoiled\u003c\/i\u003e.
