I'm of a divided mind on Feherty's wit. First, on the negative side, much of his tournament work seems forced and constrained by the likely censoring issues he'd have with CBS. Also, I'm annoyed by his insistence on letting us know his political leanings. He's a former drunk, former player funnyman, his politics are wholly irrelevant.
On the positive side, he is a gifted comic writer. I've written my fair share of attempted humor and I can vouch for the difficulty of such a task. He has a thoroughly authentic comic voice that comes through wonderfully in his Golf magazine columns and his essays that have been published in book form. As for the new television show, I was all set to hate it, because he is sort of annoying on CBS, but he has had some good moments, like the Fluff/Bones interview, in which he noted that the interview was taking place in the TPC Sawgrass spa and offered some optimism that the interviewees could wind up getting a "happy ending". He'd be fired from CBS for such a comment, but it was good, ribald humor, IMHO.
But the funniest thing that he's said in recent memory was on the Dan Patrick cable TV/radio show where he was interviewed about Rory McIlroy hurting his right wrist when his club hit a tree root during the PGA. Feherty allowed that it wasn't the smartest thing that Rory had ever done, but told the interviewer that he wasn't worried about the consequences, because "the right wrist is the strongest bone in a 22 year old male's body."
Now, that's funny. And he'd probably be fired by CBS if ever he uttered such a salacious comment. Which leads me to think that he's really a funny guy and that his CBS stuff is only made lame by the restrictions he is under.
