"?Think country-club clinic meets Navy Seals training. I will pay
any price, bear any burden, leave my home to follow the seasons,
build my own swing studio in the basement, construct a practice
green in my backyard. . . . Everything the big boys have access to,
I want double.?" Like most amateur golfers, Tom Coyne had often
wondered whether the pros won because they were more talented or
because they were more obsessed. Overweight and burdened by a 14
handicap, he decided to find out for himself what it takes to play
like a pro.
Charting his journey?which included hiring top golf gurus such
as Dr. Jim Suttie?"Paper Tiger" takes readers from the Michelob
tournament (a win for Tom) to the Australian Tour, where
forty-mile-per-hour winds and a driving rain scare off his Japanese
partners. With each chapter, he tracks his weight alongside his
handicap, pursuing his dream with a reckless abandon that comes to
involve hardcore diets, pricey technology, even psychologists. With
echoes of "Dead Solid Perfect" and "Who's Your Caddy?" Tom brings
his uniquely edgy, deeply human perspective to a game that can
simultaneously bring out the best and the worst in everyone who
tries to master it.
