3 comments about In My Dreams, I Walk With You.

  1. What an inspiration this book was for me. To travel all over and make people enjoy the game you love after over-coming many obstacles and handicaps...this book can inspire those who love golf, dogs, traveling, the pursuit of a dream! Truly, something I will remember


  2. This is another of those pity party books. Really, just another poorly written book that has no redeeming qualities.


  3. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review on a book that I have read. Please understand that I have known Dennis for over 30 years and that I may be a bit biased, but this is a book that is important for people to read. This is the story of a regular normal everyday person who has soared over what life has delt him. Dennis has found a way to follow his dreams and do the things that are important to him overcoming every obstacle in his way. The book evokes every emotion as you read about his life and his struggles. This is a great read for golfers and non-golfers alike with its lessons on how to deal with life. Buy it and share it with others.

5 comments about Gentlemen Only.

  1. I enjoyed the book, but I was eager to learn more about the men in their lives. Who were these men and how did they feel about the experiences.


  2. This is a terrific book written by a member's wife and their daughter. I am a big golf fan and have read several books about Augusta National and the Masters in recent years, but this one has an entirely different angle--a woman's perspective, and an insider-woman at that. The authors are respectful of the club, but they also are open in offering dozens of refreshing anecdotes that are funny and border on irreverent. There are also a bunch of photos in the book depicting the golf course from a candid viewpoint.


  3. I started the book about 6 and finished about 12. Every golfer, Masters fan, everyone in Augusta will want one of theses books.

    It's full of real inside stories of the Club, its founders, the grounds, the caddies, the famous players.

    I know the author personally and figured her book would be interesting but did not expected to be glued to it. The wording contained many of the unique phrases used at the National and un golfing. I could not put the book down.

    I am not a golfer, but my dad was and I have heard him day dream about golf; I've seen him high on 72 and down on 90; it seems the author got to the point she day dreamed about sandtraps, the rough, the fairways, how she would handle different shots.

    Stories about personal encounters with famous golfers and politicians were great. The stories about the caddies and their betting, "ownership" of golfers, their nicknames were fascinating.

    The stories about how one gets into the club gives the Augusta National a sense of intrigue.

    The stories about the president of the club presented a man bigger than life, who put fear into the hearts of the wealthy and powerful.

    Fishing stories, access to the club during the Masters, access to the club during off season were all highly readable and clearly inside, non-public, unpublished views into a closed society.

    That only a few people were there at a time off season was amazing; there is/or was a wonderful wine cellar; there were no socials unrelated to golf and no 5 somes.

    This is a wonderful book of private information that every golfer will enjoy, buy 2 of (one to keep and one to give away).



  4. I started the book about 6 p.m and finished about 1 a.m; I could not put it down. Every golfer, every Masters fan, every body in Augusta will want this. Lots of great (and courteous) insider stories about the the Club; the creek, the community power fights about the creek; about great golfers, the caddies; the role of women; the founders of the club; the author's learning golf; rubbing elbows with Washington big whigs.

    I know the author personally; I never dreamed her book would be interesting; I certainly never expected to be glued to her book, but it is a gem. I've got a couple of golfing buddies in mind who will want to read this book.

    The story about the golfer who would "never" play with a woman was great...he parted with a dollar of two.

    The "ownership" of the caddies, the nicknames of caddies and the nicknames given by caddies to their "horses" was fascinating.

    The stories about the club president show a man "bigger than life."

    Perhaps some of you know what trunk bangers are...now I know.

    My grandmother lived a few blocks from the club and she rented to people who attended the Masters...so the book brings back memories...

    Anyone struggling with golf, all you addicts out there, who day dream about shots, greens, the rough, creeks and sandtraps will identify with the author, whether male or female.

    I'm not even a golfer, but my daddy was; and after listening to him talk golf, get down with 90, high on 72, talk about lights for night golfing, discuss the game over a few drinks, I found this book a clincher. I never expected to enjoy a book so much.
