A course called America : fifty states, five thousand fairways, and the search for the great American golf course / Tom Coyne. by Coyne, Tom. Avid Reader Press, 2021. Call #: 796.352068 C881c Subjects Coyne, Tom -- Travel -- United States.   Golf courses -- United States.   Golf -- United States. ISBN:  9781982128050 (hc) Edition:  1st Avid Reader Press hardcover ed. Description:  401 p., 8 unnumbered p. of plates : color ill., maps ; 25 cm. Summary:  "In the span of one unforgettable year, Coyne crisscrosses the country in search of its greatest golf experience, playing 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. Coyne’s journey begins where the US Open and US Amateur got their start, historic Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. As he travels from the oldest and most elite of links to the newest and most democratic, Coyne finagles his way onto coveted first tees (Shinnecock, Oakmont, Chicago GC) between rounds at off-the-map revelations, like ranch golf in Eastern Oregon and homemade golf in the Navajo Nation. He marvels at the golf miracle hidden in the sand hills of Nebraska, and plays an unforgettable midnight game under bright sunshine on the summer solstice in Fairbanks, Alaska. 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 with one thing in common: pride in welcoming Coyne to their course. Trading stories and swing tips with caddies, pros, and golf buddies for the day, Coyne adopts the wisdom of one of his hosts in Minnesota: the best courses are the ones you play with the best people. But, in the end, only one stop on Coyne’s journey can be ranked the Great American Golf Course. Throughout his travels, he invites golfers to debate and help shape his criteria for judging the quintessential American course. He discovers his long-awaited answer in the most unlikely of places!"--Publisher. Genre:  Travel writing.
