How does this audiobook compare to other items pro shops sell for kids?

Compared to other items pro shops sell for kids, typically miniature clubs, small hats, or plastic tee sets, *Once Upon a Golf Swing* offers something different because it is a full story rather than a piece of gear, and it works specifically for the car rather than the range. Gear items are useful once a child starts swinging a club, but they do not fill the quiet minutes on the drive there.

*Once Upon a Golf Swing* follows Ace, a golf ball lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines, through a real arc alongside friends Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey. The $9.97 audiobook and listen-along edition give a shop something to sell that a young child can actually use before they are old enough for real clubs, and the original song "Swing Away" adds a piece a toy simply cannot.

Both kinds of products belong on a shop’s shelves. Gear supports a child once they start playing, while a story like this one supports the years before that, and the drive to and from every practice after. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, published by Swankeeper Publishing, with hardcover at $29.97 and softcover at $14.97 also available. </br>
