United Kingdom on Sep 27, 2023

Amazon Customer: This book is such a fun read. The Author's quest is clearly and perfectly laid out. I felt like I was there with him. I enjoyed his perspective and commentary. It just made me want to get up off my chair and join him. Well done. I was spellbound and I just couldn't put it down.

Nan Tarasi: I loved reading this, and I don’t even play golf! The honesty and humor will keep you wanting to gobble up every page whilst at the same time hoping it never ends.

Jack O'Spades: I took this book with me on a golf trip to Ireland. Coyne set out to walk the full Irish coast, playing every seaside course as he went. He gives insight into Ireland, its people, its golf and himself. That insight was useful to me then and now. He had a rollicking good time. The best of his four golf books IMO.

JD: Great read!

Matt: Anyone who remotely considers themselves a golfer needs to vicariously live the golf of Ireland through this read. Then like me you'll probably start looking into your own trip.

Kevin C. Mills: It was of great interest to me as I had visited Ireland on four occasions in the past 20yrs to explore and play most of the golf courses Tom did on his walk. We agreed that Ballybunion. and Belmullet were outstanding and The Baltry and RCD were memorable. I had similar experiences in pubs in small villages,20mins. In and your part of the family. You can certainly tell the North from the Republic but that's an opinion of mine.

Conrad: The very premise of the book probably accounts for my disappointments with it. After all, it's difficult to write about a walk of 1,000+ miles, play on 50+ golf courses, provide a largely American readership with an account thereof, and include in it a satisfying report of the golf experience of the courses played, the golf clubs visited, and the communities through which he passed during his four month journey.

Walking from course to course while on a tight schedule surely compromised Mr. Coyne's opportunities to really get to know the communities in and around the courses he played, or the members at the clubs he visited. Pity that he didn't because the level of affection members have for their clubs in Ireland is something not found typically at our American private member golf clubs. Also, the importance of the golf club in most of Ireland as an integral part of the community's social fabric is not well communicated. In much of Ireland, the golf club is one of the social touchstones as important for the social setting for neighbors it provides as for the golf.

Mr. Coyne says little of the Irish caddie, yet they can be an important part of the golf experience in...
