Every ball has a story.

Hidden among the greens of Whispering Pines Golf Club is a world where golf balls learn, grow, and cheer each other on. Once Upon a Golf Swing follows one small ball on a big moment, discovering that courage, friendship, and trying again are what truly matter.

Designed especially for young children, this story celebrates learning through play.

“Sometimes getting lost is how you find your way.”from the song Swing Away
The Adventure Begins

Every Ball Has
a Story

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.

But home has a pull all its own. Back at Whispering Pines, Ace meets Daisy by the pond, reunites with Buddy in the bag room, and discovers a whole community of balls, each with their own story, each with their own place.

“Some journeys take you far away so you can understand exactly where you belong.”

Once Upon a Golf Swing is a golf storybook for young children ages 3 to 6. It is a keepsake and a gift for the little golfer in your life, whether it comes from a parent, a grandparent, or a favorite teacher.

Ace had never been played before.

He was a tour-level golf ball,
new dimples and bright,
tucked inside a shiny sleeve
with only two others just like him.

The kind of ball golfers saved
for special days.

Ace liked that.
