Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer's Quest to Play with the Pros Paperback - 2007
by Tom Coyne
This riotously funny story follows one weekend golfer who lived his dream and devoted a full year to nothing but the quixotic quest to enter the notoriously grueling PGA Tour Qualifying School with his girlfriend tagging along as caddy.
Summary
Charting his journey?which included hiring top golf gurus such as Dr. Jim Suttie?Paper Tiger takes readers from the Michelob tournament (a win for Tom) to the Australian Tour, where forty-mile-per-hour winds and a driving rain scare off his Japanese partners. With each chapter, he tracks his weight alongside his handicap, pursuing his dream with a reckless abandon that comes to involve hardcore diets, pricey technology, even psychologists. With echoes of Dead Solid Perfect and Who?s Your Caddy? Tom brings his uniquely edgy, deeply human perspective to a game that can simultaneously bring out the best and the worst in everyone who tries to master it.
