A Long Walk in Search of a Country, a Pint, and the Next Tee
By Tom Coyne
Inspired by a trip to Ireland with his father where he learned to play golf, Coyne sets out on a journey to the same land and treks his way around the entire country, spending sixteen weeks playing every seaside hole. Everything from the top-ranked links to livestock crowded courses are played, all while learning more about family roots and the economic boom taking place in this once poor country. By turns hilarious and poetic, A Course Called Ireland is a magnificent tour of a vibrant land and a paean to the world's greatest game.
