Aug 02, Chad Supp rated it really liked it. I actually read Tom Coyne's three books, two nonfiction and this one fiction, in reverse order of their publication. An interesting exercise, charting his development as a writer on a reverse timeline.
As to be expected, he's sharper and leaner in the third book "A Course Called Ireland" than he is here, but you still get his rhythm and timing in this first one. It's very much a coming of age story, one where the protagonist is experiencing an old blue-blooded, I actually read Tom Coyne's three books, two nonfiction and this one fiction, in reverse order of their publication.
Gentleman's Game
It's very much a coming of age story, one where the protagonist is experiencing an old blue-blooded, chart-the-bond-holders-back-to-the-Mayflower, country club. He experiences it from the links as a player, and from behind-the-scenes as a caddie.

There's a lot of golf here the protagonist is a prodigy , which you expect with Coyne, and he delivers. There's a lot of other stuff here also, including an emotionally stunted family, a best friend from the wrong side of the tracks, and the varying degree of scandals that percolate through the club. It's the other stuff that isn't quite as sharp, or connected. But I liked it very much, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good golf-themed fiction.

Dec 26, John Munro rated it it was ok. Too much juvenile swearing to make it worth the effort to finish the book. Mar 01, Tracy Johnson rated it liked it Shelves: golf , own-hard-copy. So, I wanted to go back and read his first novel and the one that make him famous.

I have to say it is a distant third behind the other two. Maybe non-golfers will like it more and maybe it is a better literary effort, but I disliked it. It was very cynical and depressing. Perpetuated the perception that all country-club golfers are fat, drunk, loud rich jerks that I have read two other books by Tom Coyne and thought they were absolutely great golf reads: A Course Called Ireland, and Paper Tiger.
Perpetuated the perception that all country-club golfers are fat, drunk, loud rich jerks that only belong to the club for the prestige. I suppose this stereotype may have been the norm in the 50's or 60's, but my experience has been that most people that shell out the bucks to belong to a golf club do so because they love to play golf.
I didn't find any of that here. Jul 29, Andy Orr rated it it was amazing. Great book and fun to imagine how it would be made into a movie. I read the IMDB synopsis and was surprised to learn that the plot has some fairly significant differences. Going to read all of Tom Coyne's books from the first to the third fourth one is on its way. Have started the second book -- highly recommended for golfers or those attempting something that doesn't quite seem possible. Jun 19, Donna rated it liked it.
Edward made me read this book. It's a good novel of the soap opera variety that sounds like a biography. It is a little unsettling to think about the sorrow behind the beautiful scenery of a country club golf course and how a lot of folks don't understand how much they damage their kids along the way.
