Publisher's summary

Meet John Richardson, a typical weekend golfer who enjoys the game but can’t break 100. But Richardson differs from the average 24-handicapper in one crucial way. He’s determined to break par within a year at the local golf course while working in a demanding full-time job and trying his best to remain a good husband and father. Famed Scottish golfer/commentator Sam Torrance advises John to “dream on” and PGA Tour pro Darren Clarke tells him that three years would be a more realistic time frame. Dream On is the hilarious and inspiring story of how John achieved the seemingly impossible - from how the initial challenge took shape to that glorious day, less than one year later, when he broke par and played the best round of his life.

Editorial reviews

Most recreational golfers are content with cracking 100 and then retiring to the clubhouse for a beer. Dream On, however, is one man's quest to not only break 100 but break par within one year's time. Veteran narrator, Robert Sams, amps up the humor in this quixotic tale of determination. In Dream On listeners follow along as weekend golfer John Richardson tries to balance work and his family with his seemingly impossible goal of breaking par in one year. Whether you've ever picked up a club or not, this story of one man's dream is bound to generate equal parts inspiration and laughs.

Bad audio

This audio book sounds like it is being read by a computer. Sounds like someone read individual words then a computer generated it into a narrated story. Makes for a very boring listen. Would not advise buying this audio book.....
