Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Globe-trotting golf writer Tom Coyne is ready to put down roots. For a fanatic like Coyne, that means living out every golfers dreamor nightmare?and buying his very own golf course. It also involves Bill Murray and Jason Kelce, for some reason.Tom Coyne, the New York Times bestselling author of A Course Called America and numerous other contemporary classics of golf literature, has spent his career traveling the world and playing legendary courses from St. Andrews to Shinnecock. One day, at the urging of a course superintendent who is hoping to save his local nine-hole gem from shuttering just shy of its one hundredth anniversary, Coyne pays a visit to Sullivan County Golf & Country Club in upstate New York. When he arrives, the course is buried under ice and snow; what he can see of the clubhouse is falling apart. By the time he leaves, all he can see is his next adventure: discovering how owning a course is vastly different from playing one. A Course Called Home is Coynes most personal and profound book yet: a heartfelt and often humorous chronicle of restoration, resilience, and finding purpose in unexpected places. Its a story about digging inliterally and figurativelyas Coyne trades tee times for mower hours, learning how to contour a fairway, water a green, and revive a course rich in history but fading from memory. The Sullivan golf community that Coyne joins is unlike the pristine, manicured version of the game you see on TV, played by millionaires in matching polos. The course is run by a tight-knit crew of groundskeepers who work long hoursnot for prestige but for pride. Its frequented by lifelong regulars who pay in cash and play in jeans, and its welcoming to visitors and first-timers who quickly become part of the fold. Sullivans crew becomes more like a family, united in their affection for this scrappy, enduring place. Yet decades of declining tourism and economic downturn have left the club struggling to survive, and fighting for its future will require an unprecedented team effort. Coyne rallies the golfing faithful to uplift this course that represents how the game can bring generations together. Players from around the world answer the call, purchasing memberships for a tiny Catskills course they may never visit. Companies offer steeply discounted mowers and carts. Friends swoop in to help dig bunkers, plant flowers, and cut holes. And, yes, some of those helpful friends have names like Bill Murray, Jason Kelce, and Mike Madden. In the tradition of his beloved golf travel trilogy, Coyne again taps into what makes the game timeless and transformative. But this round, he doesnt have to travel far: just down the road from Woodstock, to a century-old nine-holer that embraces all comers. A Course Called Home is a love letter to golf, to community, and to the places that still matter. New York Times bestselling golf writer Tom Coyne follows up most successful book of his already illustrious career, A Course Called America, with his new golfing adventure, A Course Called Home, in which he lives out every golfer's fantastyor nightmare?and buys his own golf course, a run-down public course in the Catskills that he must restore to glory.
