Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * “One of the best golf books this century.” —Golf Digest Tom Coyne’s A Course Called Scotland is a heartfelt and humorous celebration of his quest to play golf on every links course in Scotland, the birthplace of the game he loves. 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.

Book Description
For years, Americans have had a keen interest in the game of golf. Currently, there are over 1.1 million golfers in northern California alone and twenty-three million golfers in the United States. For golfers who are interested in, or who already enjoy the public greens of the West Coast, Golfing Northern California offers a practical and indispensable guide to the region's 112 courses and includes an unbiased evaluation system that rates each course objectively. As a player at both professional and amateur levels for the past twenty-five years, author Tim Keyser traveled over 14,000 miles to play each of the eighteen-hole golf courses in the book. Utilizing the wealth of his firsthand knowledge and experience, Keyser critiques each course individually. By devising a simple, yet effective, system of ratings, Keyser has established quality categories which range from "outstanding" to "not recommended." Furthermore, the final quality rating takes into account the expenses which may be incurred by players. From the San Francisco Bay to the Monterey Peninsula, and even the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Keyser explores the greens of Northern California. He gives directions to each location and offers advice on the most suitable tee times. In addition, the author rates the suitability of the course for various skill levels. With an easy, quick reference listing and even a trivia quiz, Golfing Northern California is the essential item for all enthusiasts planning to play in this region.

Book Description
In June 2010, Paul Laubach made the unfortunate decision to play all of the top 100 golf courses available to the public, according to Golf Magazine. Spread over 45 months, he managed to complete his goal despite numerous weather, course maintenance and other logistical issues...not to mention his own “senior moment.” The journey covered 87,814 air miles and another 17,051 by automobile. During the trek he suffered two frozen shoulders, a bad lower back, golfer's elbow (left), tennis elbow (right), three major sunburns, hundreds of mosquito bites, poison oak, plus numerous cuts and bruises chasing errant shots into the woods, desert and other prickly flora. None of this was as painful as the cost associated with losing 117 Pro V1s. A confirmed golf addict and cheapskate, he is now chronicling his adventures for his heirs (who will probably get nothing else, as he wasted the estate on this boondoggle).
