In episode 7 of The Golfing CEO, host Derek Belch sits down with Tom Coyne — Executive Editor of The Golfer’s Journal, host of its acclaimed podcast, and five-time author of award-winning books, including one adapted for film. Together, they explore how golf has given Tom both “nothing” and “everything” in return, why Paper Tiger is the single-biggest influence behind Derek starting this show, and why every American golfer should try their hand at “real links golf” at least once in their lifetime.
