The Golf Channel chronicles David Feherty & Kelly Tilghman's visit to Iraq and Kuwait, and will reveal how through golf, U.S. troops enjoyed an entertaining taste of home while providing Feherty, Tilghman and her companions a life-changing experience. Airing May 25 at 8:30 p.m. ET, Operation Links will chronicle their journey of discovery, understanding and gratitude during the USO Tour. Joining them on the journey, which was filmed over the 2008 Thanksgiving holiday, were PGA TOUR winners Howard Twitty and Donnie Hammond, long drive champions Art Sellinger and Brian Pavlet and award-winning illustrator Victor Juhasz. Visiting more than a dozen military installations and hospitals in Kuwait and Iraq, the group hit golf balls with the troops, conducted entertaining clinics and shared both light-hearted and moving golf stories. "These are the most professional, most incredible people I have ever been around," said Feherty, who was making his second Operation Links USO Tour. "Of all of the things I have done in sports and broadcasting, nothing has given me a greater sense of satisfaction."
