I love Feherty. He is one of those guys who is perfectly happy saying whatever he feels like saying and not worrying about (embracing?) offending the little minds along the way. While I couldn't get away with it (being a WASP, a group that offends people with their mere existence) he can. Why? Because he is a drunken Mick! All one has to do is watch Blazing Saddles to see how our Irish friends were treated back in the day (“All right... we'll give some land to the n**gers and the ch*nks. But we don't want the Irish!"). And, he does it with great humor and wit. Also, he is a devotee of pill popping and binge drinking (being Irish, the later is kind of a birth right). My kinda guy!
The Power of Positive Idiocy is a collection of reprints of Feherty's articles from Golf Magazine. If you are a regular follower of his, don't bother with this book as you've already read its contents. If not, and you are a golf fan (or a fan of snarky Irish golf commentators), go ahead and pick it up. It's good for a few laughs...
