Download or read book Adam Scott written by Gerald Hollingsworth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book depicts the revelations of a boy with aspirations. However, his young life was met with encounters that would hinder and ultimately prevent any accomplishments from being achieved. Becoming a Miami Dolphin football player or an astronaut could only be a dream. The culprit is a disease called muscular dystrophy. His type was duchenne, which is incurable. Words associated with this disease are muscular weakness, deterioration, and extreme weight loss. Requirements are heavy metal leg braces, custom-made back braces, and wheelchairs. This book takes you on a journey of Adam’s life as he coped with not only the aforementioned disease but also the daily variety of meds, oxygen treatments, and leg massages. His education consisted of a special education school when it was determined that at a regular high school, he endured too many obstacles, such as impatient teachers and students who abusively made fun of his back brace and twisted body. His final years of schooling would be from his bed at home with a tutor. During his teen years, girlfriends, attending dances, amusement parks, and participating or being a spectator of sports are all identifiable with those years. Adam had two companions, which weren’t girls. They were a wheelchair and a home hydraulic lift with a seat that would transport him from room to room and to the bathroom. A main feature of this illness is a contemptible daily pain. When Adam asked his parents if he would be remembered, reading his life story answers that question. Adam Scott touched the hearts of all who knew him. Your heart will be touched too.
Download or read book Amen written by Will Swanton and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Masters: the most famous tournament of all. A global TV audience of 150 million, a string of legendary winners ... and a curse for Australian golfers. From Jim Ferrier blowing a huge lead in 1950 to Greg Norman's litany of disasters over decades, the Masters constantly turned its back on any Australian who looked likely to get close to the Holy Grail. The curse grew a life of its own. Norman spent 22 years trying to win the title he craved above all others, only to be stopped cold by nerves, rotten luck and bizarre twists of fate. As a boy, Adam Scott had cried while watching Greg Norman's implosions. He became world junior champion, and a protege of Norman. Respectful and dignified, he was one of the most popular players on the US and European tours. His swing was to die for, but his putting was a nightmare. He kept falling apart in big tournaments. In 2009, when Scott's career was in free-fall - when his world ranking plummeted and his personal life was on the skids - the only two men to show faith in him were Greg Norman and the Argentinian player, Angel Cabrera. Come 2013, Scott is in the thick of an impossibly dramatic Masters. Three Australians are among those fighting for the lead. Only Scott makes it to a sudden-death playoff - against Cabrera. As darkness closes in, he has what Norman never had: one putt to win the Masters. Featuring exclusive interviews with Adam Scott, Scott's father Phil, Greg Norman and every prominent Australian golfer from British Open champions Peter Thomson and Ian Baker-Finch to Masters runner-up Jack Newton, all of whom tried and failed at Augusta, Amen is the definitive story of how Adam Scott broke the biggest hex on Australian sport.
