But what makes a great golf course? Is it the difficulty of the layout, the beauty of the surroundings, or the history of the club? In his new book, Fifty States, Five Thousand Fairways, author John Coyne sets out to answer this question by playing 50 of the most iconic courses in the United States.

Coyne's journey takes him from the hallowed grounds of Augusta National to the windswept dunes of Bandon Dunes, from the rolling hills of Pinehurst to the rugged coastline of Pebble Beach. Along the way, he meets with golf legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, and discovers the stories behind some of the game's most famous holes.

But Coyne's book is more than just a travelogue. It is also a meditation on the nature of the game itself. He explores the mental and physical challenges of golf, the importance of etiquette and sportsmanship, and the role that the game can play in our lives.

In the end, Coyne concludes that there is no one definitive answer to the question of what makes a great golf course. But he does offer some insights into what makes the game so special.

"Golf is a game of a lifetime," Coyne writes. "It is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. It is a game that can be played in a variety of settings, from the most exclusive country clubs to the most modest municipal courses."

"But what makes golf truly special is the way it can bring people together. Golf is a game that can be played with friends, family, and colleagues. It is a game that can be used to build relationships and create memories that will last a lifetime."

If you are a golfer, then I highly recommend reading Fifty States, Five Thousand Fairways. It is a book that will give you a new appreciation for the game and the people who play it.
