Welcome to another version of Hot Mic, this is GOLF's weekly media column dedicated to the people (and stories) behind the games you watch every week.

If nothing else, Hot Mic is proud to share the stories of the great storytellers of golf.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this column has spent a lot of time discussing David Feherty. Feherty is not only one of golf's best storytellers, he is also one of the most enjoyable characters in the sport-a talented entertainer who has a keen sense of comedy timing.

These skills have played a good role (and sometimes well) in Feherty's broadcasting career. These skills have made him a mainstay of golf TV and a beloved member of NBC and SiriusXM golf coverage.

Therefore, when Hot Mic has the opportunity to talk to him at a recent charity event for Generational Group, we think it is best to use the time with Feherty and let him do what he does best. In a few minutes, we invited Feherty to share with us the most exciting story of his golf career. Here are some of our favorite collections from our conversation, including his (Hangover) best round ever and his most embarrassing shot. You can view the full video above.

(Editor's note: A special tip for Tiffani Lynch of GOLF. He interviewed Feherty... and managed not to laugh out loud.)

David Feherty's best round of golf ever:

"This is a huge hangover and I am not proud of that part. It was the Catalonia Open on the east coast of Spain. I thought I would miss the edit, so I went out with a friend of mine. We were a bit tied together. Arrived around 3/4 in the morning and noticed that I was the first to participate in the draw the next morning."

"I took a shower and changed clothes. I went back almost immediately and shot 61. I went from just getting promoted to tied for second, so I performed well the next night and shot 75 the next day. For me Serve."

"I remember the first time I played with Seve. Seve was one of those people who made him have nightmares. He always shook his change and walked around. So I moved it to the part of the tee, where I moved from His foot is not visible under the visor. I cleared a number four iron. I am following up and I just realized that I have gotten rid of it. And Seve is here, about to shoot. The ball goes straight to the 17th hole. A tree near the green then disappeared. So the ball landed on the tee behind us. Seve turned around and said to me,'Sorry, you're not here.

"So it's pretty embarrassing."

His best fan interaction as a broadcaster:

"I was working at CBS at the time and I was following Rory McIlroy at the PGA Championship. We had a downpour, and there was a fan, a big guy, and I walked by him, his feet sticking out from under him. He went all the way. Sliding down the river bank and falling in front of me, I had to step over him. He looked at me and said,'Feherty !!!!!!' He didn't even spill his beer. I think this is a great sporting achievement. "

The Big Gravy himself, Colt Knost, announced on Tuesday that he will expand his live reporting role on CBS in the new year. This move will elevate his live TV coverage to a more full-time role, which is not surprising to enthusiastic viewers. In the past year, Knost has been one of the most successful stories of golf TV. With a keen analytical mind and a humorous live-streaming personality, Knost’s media adventures (including his GOLF podcast, Subpar) have brought him a thriving second golf career (we don’t think there is any harm in the recommendation of Justin Thomas ).

FWIW (if my vote is important) @ColtKnost should be the next TV. When I watch golf, he always refreshes me. He knows the players, he knows our game, he has a great sense of humor, and he is an excellent player who can connect the stadium situation with the audience

Speaking of talented storytellers-sincere congratulations to golf TV host Jim Nantz for being elected to the National Sports Media Association Hall of Fame last weekend. Nantz, who has been working at CBS since the 1980s (!), will return to the network’s PGA Tour report in 2022.

James Colgan is an assistant editor at GOLF and writes stories on a wide range of topics for the website and magazine. He wrote GOLF's weekly media column Hot Mic and used his broadcasting experience on the brand's social media and video platforms. As a graduate of Syracuse University in 2019, James-apparently, his golf game-is still thawing in the snow for four years, during which time he worked in NFL movies, CBS News and Fox Sports. Before joining GOLF, James was the recipient of his caddie scholarship from Long Island (and the shrewd Looper).
