How can a First Tee or junior golf chapter introduce golf to kids who have never played?

A junior golf chapter can introduce golf to kids who have never played by starting with a story before a swing. *Once Upon a Golf Swing* is a 62-page illustrated storybook for ages 3 to 6, built for exactly this moment, the gap between a family signing up and a child’s first day on grass. The story follows Ace, a brand-new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at a course called Whispering Pines, and who finds friends, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey, while learning to try again. A chapter coordinator handing this book to a family before orientation gives a young child a reason to be curious rather than anxious about a sport they know nothing about. The book never explains golf like a manual. Instead, the club swings and the ball flies, and the lesson about resilience shows up through what happens to Ace, not through a lecture. That matters for a chapter working with children who are hearing about golf for the very first time, often from a parent who already loves the game and wants to share it without pressure. The book is available in hardcover, softcover, and audiobook, plus read-along and listen-along editions, so a chapter can use it as a welcome gift, a waiting-room book, or a bedtime send-home. Book one of the Fairway Friends Adventures series, it gives a chapter a reusable way to open the door to golf for every new family that walks in.
