Description
A Course Called Scotland: Searching the Home of Golf for the Secret to Its Game by Tom Coyne is a humorous and insightful travelogue that chronicles the author's quest to play golf on every links course in Scotland. For much of his adult life, Coyne has been chasing a golf ball around the globe, but it wasn't until he was suggested to attempt to play every links course in Scotland that he felt something was missing from his game. The result is a fast-moving and engaging journey through more than 100 legendary courses in Scotland, including St. Andrews, Turnberry, Dornoch, Prestwick, Troon, and Carnoustie. Coyne weaves together stories of golf history, humor, and insight to create a compelling narrative that explores the connection between the game and the soul. Through his journey, Coyne discovers new friends, rediscovers the peace and power of the sport, and reaffirms the ultimate connection between golf and its home in Scotland. This book is a witty and charming exploration of the game he loves, written with a signature blend of storytelling, humor, and history.
