Awesome!!!!
I received your book in the mail yesterday. I figured I would read
a few chapters to get acquanted. 18 chapters later at one in the
morning I put it down. Not because I wanted to but because I
had to get some sleep. Before I got out of bed this morning,
I finished the remaining 10 Chapters. One of the few books I
have read where I didn't want to put it down until I was finished.
Congratulations, you have a winner! It brought about all
emotions. I laughed out loud and cried to myself as I read it.
You don't have to love golf to appreciate what a great read this
is.

I was captivated by the love story. I couldn't put it down and
read it in one afternoon and a night. I loved it! I'll be looking
forward to the sequel.

I loved the book. She (the main character)
kind of reminded me of myself in places.

I really enjoyed it. My mother said she cried when she
read it. I can't wait for the day when I walk into a
bookstore and see it on the shelves.

I was reading it on a flight, and I was crying
so much other passengers asked me if I was OK.
I loved it.

Once I picked up and started reading Pops and Sunshine, I
could not put it down. As a golf coach for many years it struck
me not as a fictitious tale but one that could very well be true.
There are a lot of stories out there and Dave has captured the
essence of a great read. If this novel does not touch you then
you are not a true golfer.

I finished the book and loved it! I am passing it on to others.
Thanks very much for sharing it with me.

I loved the book! My wife is reading it now. We at the University
of Tulsa have three players who will be going to the tour
qualifying school next season, and I am sure this will be a very
interesting read for them too.

I couldn't put it down. You have a great talent for
painting word pictures, something that keeps a reader
hanging. I will also say that it is one of the most emotional
books I have ever read.
What a love story!

I must tell you I had a difficult time putting it down. I hung onto
every word that I read. I felt like I was in Lisa's world and was
feeling her emotions, her highs and lows.
Your story, Pops and Sunshine, has made me see just how
hard these ladies have to work to get to where they are today.

I want to congratulate you on a wonderful story. I had a
lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, and laughter throughout
the whole book. It was a great experience.

Whether you know golf or not, Pops and Sunshine is a book
to make you feel good about life and people. I am the daughter
of, but not myself a golfer, so I know only what I learned in this
amazing book and some comments from my dad. But as an
avid reader, I found this story pleasantly suspenseful and the
characters so full of the kind, caring quality of life inside and
out, that this world sorely needs more examples of, that I could not put it down until I had gone cover to cover. I am glad there
is a sequel in the works and await it impatiently. And I hope
Mr. Andrews does not stop there! His talent is a true and
uplifting gift for all of us to enjoy.

Smile, cry, and laugh; it's golf. Pops and Sunshine gives us
an honest slice of golf and life. If you have ever struggled with
the hazards of either, author Dave Andrews will have you
hooked and asking for more!

It was a fabulous story and you captured all the “right stuff” –
the drama, humor, pathos, suspense, and the exhilarating
feeling of watching a 60-foot putt approach the cup.
Thank you for sharing your novel.

That was the best book I have ever read. I caught myself
' choking up more than a few times during the book. I can really
relate to Rob and Lisa, mostly because they are about my
age. You really captured the love of two young kids. It was
inspirational. Anyone who reads it will instantly fall in love with
the characters and your writing. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
Great Job!
Please keep writing novels

I Just finished Pops and Sunshine. I have never played golf but
enjoy the game as a spectator. Rochester is host to the
Wegman's LPGA tournament and I have always enjoyed the
drama of that week. After reading Pops and Sunshine, next
summer's event will be even more exciting for me.
The joy of reading is to be effortlessly drawn into the story and
to feel not only the emotions of the characters, but equally
important, to be able to touch your own. Pops and Sunshine
excels in both. I sure hope Mr. Andrews publishes a sequel
soon.

Bravo! I think it may well have as much
commercial promise as it has the game of golf nailed to a tee!

OK, so perhaps the familiar cast of characters and the fact
that I learned to play at CCC are making this really special for
me, but I'm only at the end of Lisa's first round and I'm sitting
here all weepy and ripping through this novel when I'm
supposed to be working.
This is a terrific story. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and it's
making me homesick!! I have no doubt some smart publisher
will jump on this.Good luck!

Every golfer will LOVE this story. I think anyone who
reads it will love it also. It brought tears to my eyes.
Excellent work!

If you're a golfer and you love New Hampshire, you must
read Pops and Sunshine. From the description of the
drive up I-93, to familiar spots in and around Concord, the
author's love of the area is evident.
Dave Andrews captured the motivation and drive of
golfers at all levels in his story.
If you haven't read the book, you must go out and get it.

It is truly a wonderful story! I could not put it down until
I finished it.
