Dream On: One Hack Golfer's Challenge to Break Par in a Year - Softcover

Meet John Richardson. A typical weekend golfer who enjoys the game but can't break one hundred. Married. One seven-year old daughter. Full-time job. 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. Virtually everyone he comes across tells him that it isn't possible. 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. Add to the mix a range of golfing injuries, family responsibilities and a rigorous working schedule, and you can understand why there are so many doubters. Dream On is the hilarious and inspiring story of how John achieved the seemingly impossible-from how the initial challenge took shape and the methods he used to dramatically improve his game to that glorious day, less than one year later, when he broke par and played the best round of his life.

John Richardson worked for more than fifteen years in the coffee-bar and restaurant industry, at one time running the largest sandwich business in Ireland. A keen golfer, he lives with his wife and daughter in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
