Feinstein first gained national prominence with his 1986 best-seller, A Season on the Brink: A Year with Bob Knight. He's gone on to pen 30 books, including nine on golf. His golf titles include A Good Walk Spoiled; Tales from Q School; The Majors; Open: Inside the Ropes at Bethpage Black; Moment of Glory; Caddy for Life: The Bruce Edwards Story; and The Classic Palmer.
"John Feinstein is one of America’s great writers of sports," says Pulitzer Prize-winning sportswriter Dave Anderson. “John does it all, but he especially knows and loves golf.”
Feinstein is a native New Yorker who graduated from Duke University in 1977. He's written for The Washington Post for over 30 years. He has also contributed to Sports Illustrated, ESPN, National Public Radio, and Golf Digest. Now residing in Potomac, Maryland, Feinstein is a regular commentator for CBS Sports Radio and Golf Channel.
