I’m nominating A Course Called Ireland, because as I can personally attest, you don’t have to be either Irish or a golfer to enjoy this book. Tom Coyne, the author, spent fourteen weeks taking a long walk through all thirty-eight Irish seaside golf courses and at least that number of local pubs and overnights. He transformed what could have been either a golfer’s dream or the proverbial “long walk spoiled” into a lively sports/travel essay hybrid that had me laughing out loud more than once and actually sorry when it was over.
