Have you ever been extremely focused and dedicated one today but noticed that your game simply wasn’t up to the mark? And some other day, when you were not in the most serious mood, that your fabulous game made you think to yourself, ‘Maybe I should be a professional!’ Well, David Feherty experienced this, but unlike ours, in an already professional setting.

Feherty is a former professional golfer who played on the European Tour, where he has five wins to his name. Following his retirement, he worked as a television personality and later, joined the PGA tour as an on-course reporter.

David Feherty details his experience of playing with a hangover

Feherty, 63, recalled, “The best round of golf I ever played was under a monumental hangover. I’m not that proud of that part of it. But it was on the eastern coast of Spain- The Catalan Open. I thought that I was going to miss the cut. So, I went out with a friend of mine, Sam Torrance, and we kind of tied one on.”

Naturally, he came back in around three or four in the morning, with barely any expectations of playing. However, imagine his surprise when he noticed that not only had he made the cut, but he was also teeing up first!

He said, “I got in the shower and got changed and went back out almost immediately and shot 61. I went from just making the cut to tied for second. So I behaved myself the following evening and shot 75 the next day. Yeah, serves me right!”
