Content descriptions
Summary, etc.: | In 'A Course Called America', Tom Coyne plays his way across the United States in search of the great American golf course. Packed with fascinating tales from American golf history, comic road misadventures, illuminating insight into course design, and many a memorable round with local golfers, this book is an epic narrative travelogue brimming with heart and soul. In the span of one year, Coyne crisscrosses the United States in search of its greatest golf experience. He plays every course to ever host a US Open, along with more than two hundred hidden gems and heavyweights, visiting all fifty states to find a better understanding of his home country and countrymen. He begins where the US Open and US Amateur got their start: historic Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. More than just a tour of the best golf the United States has to offer, Coyne's quest connects him with hundreds of American golfers, each from a different background but all welcoming Coyne to their course. As he trades stories and swing tips with caddies, pros, and golf buddies for the day, Coyne invites golfers to debate and help shape his criteria for judging the quintessential American course. -- adapted from jacket |
