Michael Patrick Shiels has covered the world of golf and its major players in print, on radio and on television, and offers behind the scenes tales. Shiels wrote and produced features for ESPN's "Inside the PGA TOUR," and has authored five golf-related books, including "Good Bounces and Bad Liesthe Autobiography of Ben Wright." The revealing collaborative effort with Wright, the former CBS- TV golf analyst, was characterized by the Los Angeles Times as "Possibly the best sports book ever", while the Washington Times wryly compared Shiels and Wright to Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
Shiels' colorful views and insightful writing appears each week on PGATOUR.com, and he is the official golf writer of the PGA of America's Michigan section. His work has appeared in various newspapers and other publications, including PGA Magazine, Golf Course News, The Golfer, Golf.com, and Links Magazine.
Shiels has produced radio shows with the late Hall of Fame announcer J.P. McCarthy, and with noted golf instructor Rick Smith.
Author of 5 golf-related books.
