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.
