David Feherty. Somewhere In Ireland a Village Is Missing an Idiot. Ruggedland, 2003.
A friend bought me this book because he knew of my passion for Ireland. A happy accident, because there is almost nothing about Ireland except the personality of the writer. But there are unexpected laugh-out-louds. For the golf-challenged like me, the fun is in the language, the hyperbole, the irreverence, the descriptions, and the imagination. Who would dream of describing a bout of intestinal turbulence as if it were a science-fiction plot?
David Feherty is a former professional golfer turned television commentator and magazine writer.
