Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer's Quest to Play with the Pros [Coyne, Tom] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer's Quest to Play with the Pros

Review: wonderful, feel good read. - Writing is excellent as is the story. This is is a must read for fellow golf 5luts Birdie birdie popsicle
Review: Excellently written. Full of funny, disappointing, and touching moments. - Simple review: one of the best written, most exciting golf books I've ever read. A captivating story of an "every man" on a Don Quixote-esqe quest to slay the windmills of golf. Utterly relatable for any golfer who's ever wondered what it would take to get to scratch, especially so for all the swing-tinkerers of the world. But the true strength of this book is the wonderful human narrative which is the backdrop for Tom's journey into the world of aspiring golf professionals. It's full of funny tales from the course, and spot-on characterizations of the kinds of golfers you meet on the course. And without spoiling anything, an ending that's truly worth the read. Sincerely, A mid-handicapper about to head to the range (lowered my handicap index 2 strokes last month! Surely with more hard work I can get it to scratch, right? 🙂)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anyman becomes Pro?
*by J***S on November 20, 2022*

Coyne, a better than average golfer, sets out to see in one year if he can elevate his game to reach Q-school. He moves to Florida, gets an swing coach, a trainer, a nutritionist, etc. and dedicates himself 100% to becoming better. In doing so he gives insight to the golf culture, pro golf, and the many participants who make up the game. Written in the early 2000s, some of it is prescient, including how Tiger-inspired bombers will dominate the game and the banning of the long putter. His soon-to-be long-suffering GF Allyson is part of this. This was Coyne's first book, followed by the "A Course Called..." series. However, I read it after those. Coyne's personal changes are evident, particularly as he comes off in large part as a frat boy jerk in PT. Toward the very end with his dreams waning (did he think Q-school would admit him with no real playing record) he seems to realize what's more important than golf. Worth a read.
