About the book:

Now available from Gotham Books Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer's Quest to Play with the Pros by Tom Coyne, Archmere '93 Notre Dame '97, '99 MFA, author of A Gentleman's Game The riotously funny story of one weekend golfer who lived the dream--devoting a full year to nothing but the quixotic quest to qualify at the PGA Q-school

"For anyone who's ever suffered the delusion they have enough game to go up against the professional killers who play golf for a living, here's the cold, hard, hilarious truth." MMark Frost, author of The Greatest Game Ever Played and The Grand Slam

"Paper Tiger races along with humor, suspense, and behind-the-scenes stories that will grab any golfer's heart." Bud Shrake, coauuthor of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book

"In the tradition of George Plimpton, Tom Coyne takes us through the tiers and tears of competitive golf, with all the laughs and gaffes that accompany it. But he's no dilettante-Coyne commits, strives, and gets damn good. He emerges from the journey as one of our best golf writers. Astute and funny, Paper Tiger casts a critical eye at the golfer's Grail. This book is a double fist pump."Brian Doyle-Murray, co-creator of "Caddyshack"

"If you think you've heard every kind of golf story, well, think again. Paper Tiger is a hilarious, heart breaking, dead-honest look at what it means to be in love with this great game, in good times and bad. I have enjoyed Tom Coyne's insights more than you can imagine, and I think you will as well."? PGA Tour and Ryder Cup Champion Chip Beck

"Paper Tiger is laugh-out-loud, read-it-out-loud-to-your-friends funny. It's also packed with unique insight and unexpected heart. This guy can really write!" Paul Azingger, 12-time Tour winner, including the PGA Championship and Tour Championship
