‘I have a friend, a guy called John, who is undertaking a golf challenge. He has a full-time job and a wife and child and he’s trying to shoot a level par round within the year. When he started the challenge he couldn’t break one hundred. So he’s trying to take thirty-three strokes off his game in one year and he asked me to find out your opinion on that.’
Sam Torrance laughed, then slowly contemplated the question. ‘Well, you can tell him from me to dream on.’
Meet John Richardson, a regular bloke who enjoys a round of golf in his spare time. That is until he sets himself a challenge to shoot a level par round within the year.
With no natural talent, precious little time and no fitness level to speak of, can John pull it off?
In spite of Sam Torrance’s scepticism, John remains resolute and so begins an exhausting but exhilarating year of living, breathing, eating and sleeping golf. A rollercoaster ride from beginning to end, Dream On is funny and inspirational, and a must for any golfer who dreams of improving their game.
