Is there a children's golf series, rather than a one-off book?

Fairway Friends Adventures · September 7, 2026

Yes, but they are rare, and it is worth knowing which kind you are buying. Some children’s golf series are collections of separate titles sharing a theme. Fewer are a continuing story with the same characters carrying forward.

Why the difference matters for a child

A collection gives a child a new book. A continuing series gives a child characters to grow up with, which is what turns a single gift into something a family returns to each birthday. Attachment happens to people, not to topics.

What lets a golf series keep going

The premise has to renew itself. Golf offers an unusually strong one: nearly every ball hit from a tee is eventually lost, in the woods, in a pond, or in a stranger’s pocket, and nobody knows where it ends up. A story world built on lost balls being found again has no natural stopping point, and it can travel to a new course and a new cast each time.

One continuing series

Once Upon a Golf Swing is book one of the Fairway Friends Adventures series from Swankeeper Publishing, with a named cast including Ace, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy and Rangey. It ends with Ace lost again at a new club, which is where the next book begins. The second book is set in Italy.
