In summer 2002, after a ten-year quest, Larry Berle completed playing the Golf Digest Top 100 courses. His journey is detailed in this book, A Golfer's Dream: How a Regular Guy (with a slightly above average handicap) Conquered the Golf Digest Top 100.
In slightly over 200 pages, Berle describes his favorite and not-so-favorite courses, his personal experiences, the friends he made, the history and culture of the clubs, and-most important-how he managed to pull off such an accomplishment.

A golfers dream indeed,
By The Itinerant Golfer (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Golfer's Dream (Paperback)
What a truly amazing journey this book chronicles. This book is so easy and fun to read that you simply can't put it down. The author gives a peek at what its like inside the gates of some of the country's most exclusive courses. These are places that 99.9% of golfers will never get the chance to see. Pine Valley, Augusta, Cypress Point, Shinnecock Hills . . . theres a story about all of them. A great read for any fan of golf and the 'club' tradition of golf.

A Golfer's Dream by Larry Berle,

This review is from: A Golfer's Dream (Paperback)
What an amazing tale, and a great gift for any golfer. Each chapter made me want to get to the next, and I could actually see the fairways and manicured greens as Berle walks me thru the best holes in golf. An extraordinary adventure!

A Golfers Dream,

This review is from: A Golfer's Dream (Paperback)
Mark Twain may have called these 100 good walks spoiled, but I call them 100 good walks turned great. I found this book fascinating and a wonderful, fun read!! The author tells stories of how he got on these exclusive courses and the people he met and the experiences he had. I have often dreamt of playing the Top 100 golf courses in America. This guy actually did it and takes me through it as though I lived it.
The story of how he got on Augusta is captivating. I can't believe he even met a member, let alone talked his way into an invitation to play what may be the most hallowed ground in all of Golf. Having just watched the U.S. Open at Oakmont on TV, Berle give me a fresh insight into how hard this place really is for us average golfers. I don't know if Berle is a sports writer or not. If he's not. He should be!! I would recommend this to all my friends both golfers and non golfers!!!
