David Feherty is best known as the savvy golf analyst on NBC shows, but he recently showed a different side of himself when speaking to HBO’s Bryant Gumbel about his son’s death and alcohol relapse. who followed.

Feherty had been sober for more than 10 years until shortly after his son Shey died of an overdose on his 29th birthday.

Feherty told Gumble during an interview that will air on HBO’s new episode of Real Sport.

“I was at a friend’s ranch and went alone. I thought, “You know what? I’ve been sober for 10 years. I’m tired of him. You know, I’m tired of being sober. I want to feel better. And I convinced myself that it would make me feel better.

“So there was a bottle of Irish whiskey there, which is, like, a crying angel on my tongue. But oddly enough, it didn’t – taste horrible. But I made myself drink more. I was like, “Hey, I got everything under control. I don’t need to drink so much. ”You know, the next day I did the same thing, and I was like, ‘Well, I’ve got it under control. ”Before I knew it, you know, it had me under control.’

Feherty, who is sober again, also opened up about how his son’s death is something he thinks about every day.

“I apologize to him every day. I’m sorry, son. You know, I wasn’t there. I…I mean I just wasn’t there. I was always gone. Times when I was drunk. The times when I was stoned. It could have been times that I would have spent with him.

QUOTES FROM DAVID FEHERTY

-It’s how you handle failure that determines how you succeed.
– Watching Phil Mickelson play golf is like watching a drunk chase a ball near the edge of a cliff.
-The world No. 1 in tennis spends 90% of his time winning, while the world No. 1 spends 90% of his time losing. Golfers are big losers.
-I have a lack of respect for religion. I really do. When Columbus arrived in this country in 1492, he brought syphilis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, influenza and Christianity. Diseases were curable.
-It’s hard to say who will win this week, but it probably won’t be a big guy.
-The course is so long, I
-The hardest thing I’ve ever done was get sober. I drank two and a half bottles of whiskey a day and took 40 Vicodin. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.
-I didn’t stop drinking because I was a bad drunk. I quit because I was a spectacular drunk. It has to be like a video game, where you reach the highest level and it’s not even a challenge anymore.
-Worst haircut I have ever seen in my life. And I’ve had a few bad
ones. Looks like he (John Daly) has a divot on each ear.
-Playing Augusta is like playing a landscape by Salvador Dali. I expected a clock to fall from the trees and hit me in the face.
– Never has my flabber been so completely spoiled.
-I was swinging like a toilet door on a shrimp trawler.
-I have to do something that makes me focus on one thing, so I’m going to sit and listen to music, or I’m going to read, or I’m going to make ammo in my workshop. I just have to keep myself busy.
-I do not suffer from mental illness, I live with it.
Colin Montgomerie is a few fries away from a Happy Meal.
-I don’t want anyone to understand what my depression feels like because to understand it you have to have been there, and I don’t want anyone to be there.
-If God wanted people to believe in Him, why did He invent logic?
-Being bipolar and a drug and alcohol addict, I have to keep myself very busy. I do not sleep. I’m lucky if -I get three hours of sleep a night, so I wake up and my head is full of slamming doors.
– That’s the problem with Nick. The only time he opens his mouth is to change feet.
-Win and you are the superior being in the whole universe; lose, and fleas from a million rodents can infect every one of your orifices.
– I hunt wild pigs. I try not to shoot the creatures. It does nothing for me. But big, nasty, smelly, spiky things with tusks that destroy everything they touch. Yeah, I’ll shoot them.
-Everyone knows pretty much everything about me. I emptied all the skeletons from my closet a long time ago.
-I lost 150 pounds. if you include my wife.
-Hurling is a bit like a cross between lacrosse and second degree murder.
