What gift can a club offer to welcome the youngest children of new member families who have not started golf?

A gift a club can offer to welcome the youngest children of new member families who have not started golf is *Once Upon a Golf Swing*, an illustrated storybook for ages 3 to 6. New member welcome packages often include items for adults, a club logo item, a dining credit, a round of golf, but rarely anything for the youngest children in a new family. This 62-page book fills that gap. It follows Ace, a brand-new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing and finds friends, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey, along the way. A club membership director including this book in a new family’s welcome packet gives even the smallest children in that family something that connects them to the community they are joining, well before they are old enough for junior clinics or family golf days. The story teaches the game gently, through the club swinging and the ball flying, and carries a real emotional arc that a young child can follow without any prior knowledge of golf. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, the book is available in hardcover, softcover, audiobook, and read-along editions, giving a club flexibility in how it presents the gift. For a club focused on building family loyalty across generations, this book offers a warm, low-cost way to make the youngest new members feel like part of the club from day one.
