Every Ball Has a Story

Ace pops out of his Pro Tour sleeve on the first tee

Ace is no ordinary golf ball. Freshly opened from his sleeve on the first tee at Whispering Pines, he is ready for the perfect round. But a single wayward swing sends him soaring into the woods, far from the fairway he calls home.

Found by a young golfer named Willie, Ace travels to courses near and far, from sun-drenched seaside links to mountain greens and tropical fairways. Along the way, he discovers that adventure is always waiting just beyond the rough.

Beautifully Illustrated, Page by Page

Each spread brings Whispering Pines and the wider world of Fairway Friends to life with rich, vibrant illustrations.

Inspired by a True Story

A lost Titleist Pro V1, a stranger, and a text message that started an idea.

Once Upon a Golf Swing began with a real Titleist Pro V1. The author wrote his phone number on the ball in red marker, played a round at his home course in Belmont, New Hampshire, and lost the ball.

Months later, on August 9, 2025, his phone buzzed.

I just parred 10 with your ball. Do you want it back?

Hahahaha were did you find it

Highland Links. Lost it on 12 tho 🤣

Where is highland links

Cape Breton

No way my ball ended up in Canada

That is incredible!!

Yes!! My mind is blown

Haha. Yep. Someone else is going to play it now and it will travel again.

The ball had crossed an international border in a stranger’s golf bag. What adventures would a lost golf ball have if it got another chance to play? What stories would it tell?

That’s how the Fairway Friends Experience was born.

How was it?
