Famed Scottish golfer and commentator Sam Torrance told John Richardson to "dream on," when Richardson told him he was determined to break par in a year. John was a typical weekend golfer with a wife, a daughter, a full-time job, and a goal. Dream On: A Hack Golfer's Challenge to Break Par in a Year is the true story of how John Richardson went from being an average 24-handicapper to breaking par (72) in one year's time at the local golf course while working a demanding job and trying his best to remain a good husband and father.

Virtually everyone he came across told him it couldn't be done. PGA Tour pro Darren Clarke told him that three years would be a more realistic time frame. Add to the mix a range of golf injuries and a rigorous work schedule, and you can understand why there were 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!

Dream On was already a #1 bestselling golf book in the U.K., and now, with its North American debut, readers can enjoy the heartfelt, touching, and informative story that simultaneously teaches them how to improve their golf game and relentlessly pursue their dreams.
