D.J. Gregory fell in love with golf at the age of twelve, when he first began watching the game on television and attending local tournaments with his dad. But unlike many other golf fans, D.J. never dreamed of playing professionally. He never thought of becoming a ranked amateur, or even a caddie. When D.J. was an infant, doctors told his parents that he would probably spend his life in a wheelchair because of his cerebral palsy. But that didn't keep D.J. from trying to beat the odds, enduring five surgeries, learning to walk with a cane, and eventually earning college degrees in sports management. Golf had always remained D.J.'s passion, and in 2008, he decided to make a dream come true -- to travel the country and walk with a different player at each event on the PGA Tour. From the first event on the island of Maui, through the season-ending tournament at Disney World, D.J. lived out a sports fantasy unlike any other. Every week of the tour, he traveled to a tournament where he walked every round with the greatest golfers in the world: Boo Weekley, an affable country boy who went on to be the hero of the Ryder Cup...Davis Love III, whose twentieth career win earned him a lifetime card in the PGA...and Kenny Perry, the forty-eight-year-old veteran who, like the last days of a bright nova, made his final professional moments in 2008 the hottest and most brilliant of his career. For D.J., it was the most exciting year of his life, a physically challenging but emotionally rewarding adventure filled with wonderful people, unforgettable moments, and cherished memories. "Walking with Friends" is a book for all the fans who live for the love of the game, for the dreamers and doers who make things happen, and for the friends who help us walk through the journey of life.
"Golfing with Grammy," is about the art of learning how to win your round of golf at all costs. It's about using every mind game or sneaky trick you can think of to distract your golfing opponent. If you are similar to me, most of your golfing buddies, girlfriends etc., are not all that mentally tough when it comes to the rigors of competition, so any thought you can put in their weak little minds during their round of golf will easily send them down a double bogie path of misery. I am here to teach you the keys to not letting your opponent know that you are the underlying reason for their golfing demise. Enjoy watching your opponent three putt knowing that you were the cause of their shaky hands. Giggle to yourself as you watch your opponent's golf ball fly high against the bright blue sky and land in the green forest of triple bogies. "Golfing with Grammy" is not about playing golf with your Nana. Hopefully only a few of you will be disappointed. Have some few laughs and play well, but just not as good as me.

Morden is a sometimes comic look at the game of golf in all its glory and idiosyncrasies. Arranged like an eighteen-hole golf course-including trivia refreshments and three additional playoff holes-this collection of short stories offers life lessons and relies heavily on golf's fundamental tenets to remind golfers why they are so obsessed with this pastime. Morden conveys exasperation over the proverbial sand trap and laughs over Star Wars lingo and Verma Cup antics. Golf has not only taught him how to be a sportsman but it has also taught him how to be a better man to his friends, family, and fellow golfers. "Golf Shorts and Plus Fours" is a collection of well-informed, analytical and entertaining bits of wisdom that will warm the heart of any devoted golfer.
