New Lawyer Written Book Tells Untold Story of Canadian Golf

There is a new book that tells the untold story of Canadian golf. Lawyers have been talking about it, as many lawyers love golf… A lot.

This book was written by Ontario lawyer Michael Cochrane, a partner at Brauti Thorning LLP. The book is called Olympic Lyon: The Untold Story of the Last Gold Medal for Golf.

Go check out his book!

“Before Tiger Woods, there was George Lyon, a Canadian golf legend whose life story has remained largely unknown – until now.

Toronto lawyer Michael Cochrane’s new book Olympic Lyon: The Untold Story of the Last Gold Medal for Golf, to be released in 2016, tells of how, against all odds, Lyon took home the gold medal for golf at the 1904 Olympic Games.

The Ontario native went on to numerous further golf glories, national championships and recognition as one of Canada’s greatest athletes, but his legacy – and his gold medal – were lost for a time.”
