NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "One of the best golf books this
century." -Golf Digest Tom Coyne's A Course Called Scotland is a
heartfelt and humorous celebration of his quest to play golf on
every links course in Scotland, the birthplace of the game he
loves. For much of his adult life, bestselling author Tom Coyne has
been chasing a golf ball around the globe. When he was in college,
studying abroad in London, he entered the lottery for a prized tee
time in Scotland, grabbing his clubs and jumping the train to St.
Andrews as his friends partied in Amsterdam; later, he golfed the
entirety of Ireland's coastline, chased pros through the
mini-tours, and attended grueling Qualifying Schools in Australia,
Canada, and Latin America. Yet, as he watched the greats compete,
he felt something was missing. Then one day a friend suggested he
attempt to play every links course in Scotland and qualify for the
greatest championship in golf. The result is A Course Called
Scotland, "a fast-moving, insightful, often funny travelogue
encompassing the width of much of the British Isles" (GolfWeek),
including St. Andrews, Turnberry, Dornoch, Prestwick, Troon, and
Carnoustie. With his signature blend of storytelling, humor,
history, and insight, Coyne weaves together his "witty and
charming" (Publishers Weekly) journey to more than 100 legendary
courses in Scotland with compelling threads of golf history and
insights into the contemporary home of golf. As he journeys
Scotland in search of the game's secrets, he discovers new and old
friends, rediscovers the peace and power of the sport, and, most
importantly, reaffirms the ultimate connection between the game and
the soul. It is "a must-read" (Golf Advisor) rollicking love letter
to Scotland and golf as no one has attempted it before.
