VIDEO: McConaughey on How He Got Into Golf, and a Valuable Swing Lesson

ORLANDO, Fla. (April 21, 2017) – Academy Award-winning actor (“Dallas Buyers Club”) Matthew McConaughey will join David Feherty on his self-titled, Emmy-nominated “Outstanding Weekly Studio Show,” Feherty presented by Farmers Insurance, premiering Monday, April 24 at 9 p.m. ET on Golf Channel.

Filmed at Spanish Oaks Golf Club in Austin, Texas, the interview – which takes place over a few holes on the golf course in addition to a sit-down conversation in the clubhouse – covers a wide range of subjects, including:

  • An elaborate take on the similarities between golf and acting, and how tension is both an actor and a golfer’s worst enemy
  • How his brother Pat turned him on to golf after he broke his foot before entering 9th grade; and the valuable advice from his brother on how to visualize the golf swing
  • His time spent raking bunkers while working on the golf course maintenance staff growing up, and his quest on days off to set a record for most holes played in a single day
  • Detailing how he landed a role in “Dazed and Confused,” and how it helped launch his career, and how “A Time to Kill” later would completely change the arc of his career
  • His shift away from romantic comedies, and how he “unbranded” himself as part of the transition, and where he envisions his career path taking him in the future

Upcoming guests on Feherty this season (premiering Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET) include two World Golf Hall of Fame members, Nancy Lopez (Monday, May 1) and Hale Irwin (Monday, May 8), along with All-Star point guard for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry (Monday, May 15).
