Episode 208: Quiet, Please

About this episode

Tom Coyne reflects on the creative process behind his new book 'Quiet, Please' and shares passages that celebrate the beauty of golf.

It's been a fast and noisy start to the 2026 golf season. So, today we're offering a change of pace. Last year, TGJ Editor Tom Coyne escaped to the woods of New York to ruminate on what golf has given him. A week later, he emerged with the foundation of a new book. His words, paired with primary photography from Kohjiro Kinno and Christian Hafer, make up Quiet, Please—a 250-page, large-format hardcover book from The Golfer's Journal. It is, in every way, the opposite of your feed. In this episode, Coyne reflects on the creative process and reads a selection of passages that celebrate the stillness and beauty this game provides—if you listen closely. Find a peaceful spot, pour yourself something dark, and settle in. You deserve this. To receive your copy, become a Premium member at golfersjournal.com/quietplease.
