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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Coyne is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers \u003ci\u003eA Course Called Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e A Course Called Scotland\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePaper\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTiger\u003c\/i\u003e; and the novel \u003ci\u003eA Gentleman's Game\u003c\/i\u003e, named one of the best 25 sports books of all time by \u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Daily News \u003c\/i\u003eand adapted into a motion picture starring Gary Sinise.
