A Course Called Ireland by Tom Coyne

A Long Walk in Search of a Country, a Pint, and the Next Tee

An American golf-obsessed journalist embarks on a months-long walking odyssey across Ireland, linking and playing the island’s golf courses as he treks between them; the narrative blends humorous and honest accounts of weather, blisters, and logistical mishaps with vivid descriptions of landscapes, memorable encounters with locals, and reflective meditations on sport, history, and what it means to know a country by foot and by fairway.
