The hysterical story bestseller about one man's epic Celtic sojourn
in search of ancestors, nostalgia, and the world's greatest round
of golf
By turns hilarious and poetic, "A Course Called Ireland" is a
magnificent tour of a vibrant land and paean to the world's
greatest game in the tradition of Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the
Woods." In his thirties, married, and staring down impending
fatherhood, Tom Coyne was familiar with the last refuge of the
adult male: the golfing trip. Intent on designing a golf trip to
end all others, Coyne looked to Ireland, the place where his father
has taught him to love the game years before. As he studied a map
of the island and plotted his itinerary, it dawn on Coyne that
Ireland was ringed with golf holes. The country began to look like
one giant round of golf, so Coyne packed up his clubs and set off
to play all of it-on foot.
"A Course Called Ireland" is the story of a walking-averse golfer
who treks his way around an entire country, spending sixteen weeks
playing every seaside hole in Ireland. Along the way, he searches
out his family's roots, discovers that a once-poor country has been
transformed by an economic boom, and finds that the only thing
tougher to escape than Irish sand traps are Irish pubs.
