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.
