David Feherty was born in 1958, in Northern Ireland. He talked a lot about his mother, Vi who sometimes visits him from Ireland. She loves shooting and her hobby is hunting wild hogs. David takes her to a nearby shooting range when she comes over. He also made her a customized rifle.
David's first spouse was a South African beauty queen named Caroline and they gave birth to two sons. They ended up getting divorced in 1995. He got custody of the kids, but the visitation would allow them to see each other.
After the divorce, he said he was so broken that he used to run 15 miles a day to keep his mind calm because of the anxiety it caused him. He said he was very sad when one of his friends fixed him up on a blind date with a woman named Anita. He said he liked her at first sight but he actually drank a lot that night which didn’t go over well with Anita. She left within 30 minutes after realizing how drunk he was. When he asked her on a second date, she agreed on the condition that he had to be sober. Anita soon became his new girlfriend. They got married in 1996.

He also won two Irish PGA Championships and a South African Championship. In 1990, he won the Alfred Dunhill Cup. After 2006, his career was masked by alcoholism and his old age had caught up with him.
