Just a few years later, he faced the world&#8217;s best golfers&#8211;men half his age&#8211;in a gruelling week of competition for the ultimate prize: the first Olympic gold medal for golf and a magnificent Championship Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>A meticulously researched and wildly entertaining work of historical fiction, Olympic Lyon chronicles Lyon&#8217;s remarkable career and the sudden rise in popularity of golf in North America. It weaves in such momentous events as the War of 1812, the Louis Riel Rebellion, the St. Louis World&#8217;s Fair, and the Great Fire of Toronto. Above all else, it restores the memory of Canada&#8217;s champion and ensures that his name will be forever bound to the great game of golf.<\/p>\n<p>Resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghsc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Golf Historical Society<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.golfcanada.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golf Canada<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,28,9,0.59)&#8221; max_width=&#8221;73%&#8221; height=&#8221;2px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;1000px&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|||73px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;-117px&#8221; horizontal_offset_phone=&#8221;-117px&#8221; horizontal_offset_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_a_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_a_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_a_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_f_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_r_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|20px||-61px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|-79px||161px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|-103px||130px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; positioning_tablet=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_phone=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span>&#8220;I absolutely loved\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Olympic Lyon<\/span><span>\u00a0. . .Once I started reading it, I didn&#8217;t want to put it down.[Michael Cochrane&#8217;s] writing is a lovely gift to the game of golf.&#8221;<em><strong><br \/>&#8212;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><em><strong><span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">Dick Zokol, 1981 Canadian Amateur Champion<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,28,9,0.59)&#8221; max_width=&#8221;73%&#8221; height=&#8221;2px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;1000px&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|||73px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;-117px&#8221; horizontal_offset_phone=&#8221;-117px&#8221; horizontal_offset_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_a_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_a_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_a_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_f_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; position_origin_r_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|20px||-61px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|-79px||161px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|-103px||130px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; positioning_tablet=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_phone=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Michael Cochrane<\/span><span>\u00a0is a Toronto lawyer and author.
