It’s complicated — but we’ve got the right guy to take us down a wandering path to an answer.Tom Coyne has walked all of Ireland. He’s criss-crossed the United States. Most recently, he bought a failing golf course in Upstate New York. And he’s written books about all of the above. So he can speak to the ingredients of a “great” golf course, he knows the difference between great golf in the U.K. and Ireland versus great golf in the U.S. — and now he knows the nuts and bolts of owning and operating a course himself. Plus Dylan digs up an old email he sent Tom before embarking on an American golfing road trip of his own, and a response that changed his writing career.Coyne takes us through the five courses he’d play if he only had five rounds left, the bucket-list course he hasn’t yet ticked off and, at last, his pick for Greatest American Golf Course.You can order Tom’s latest book, A Course Called Home, at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Course-Called-Home-Adventures-Accidental/dp/1668030551Or A Course Called America here: https://www.amazon.com/Course-Called-America-Thousand-Fairways/dp/1982128062/For that matter, you can order Dylan’s book, 18 in America, here: https://www.amazon.com/18-America-Golfers-Journey-Essence/dp/1451693648We’ll see you next week!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mXYWmTmDvPbEjh6Dfq_AYwTub1mQH2n890bJooks1v8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYzQ5/Zjc1MTVhZTVhMWVk/ZTNjMjNlMzA0YTA1/ZmQzMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
