This gripping true story-a surprise #1 Amazon New Releases Top Seller-takes readers on an emotional journey of triumph and self-discovery. A 14-year-old boy learns to fly gliders and develops as a top sailplane racing pilot to emerge from the shadow of his All-American father. After a violent crash on the national stage alters his life forever, he battles failure and overcomes adversity while redefining success as a pilot, as a professional, as a Boston Marathon veteran, as a husband and father, and, ultimately, as a man.


This compelling account of that tragic day and its aftermath will inspire and motivate readers, who will:

  • Learn how to overcome their own life's challenges and never give up on their dreams.
  • Be emotionally moved by the compelling tale of personal growth and transformation.
  • Gain a newfound appreciation for the power of resilience.
  • Enjoy an uplifting and heart-warming story of success in the face of adversity.


Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is beloved by those who will never set foot on Mt. Everest. Likewise, Goodbye, Papa Golf is:

  • A flying book for pilots and non-pilots.
  • A marathoning book for runners and non-runners.
  • An adventure story written in the universal human language of doubt, fear, success, tragedy, failure, comeback, triumph, love, and ultimate redemption in a remarkable life's journey.


If you'd like an insider's look at the somewhat arcane sports of flying gliders and running marathons or simply need an uplifting tale to spur you to pursue your own dreams, read this book now!
