Feherty kicks off Am Tour National Championships in La Quinta

LA QUINTA, Calif. – In what has become an annual tradition, David Feherty was once again on hand to kick off the Golf Channel Am Tour National Championships.

"This is the people's amateur," said David Feherty. "The people who drive the industry. The people who pay my wages…"

Coming off a new deal this week with NBC-Golf Channel, Feherty used the opportunity to reminisce about the surprising offer while he was still competing on tour to become a broadcaster. He told the story of being approached by CBS after the first round of an event to hang up the clubs and work for them.
