How does a golf storybook serve a country club family shopping for the holidays?

A country club family shopping for the holidays is served by *Once Upon a Golf Swing*, a 62-page illustrated storybook that fits comfortably into the traditions of a private club community. Many clubs host holiday gatherings where members exchange gifts for children, and this book, for ages 3 to 6, offers something more personal than a generic toy while still connecting to the golf life the family already lives. It tells the story of Ace, a brand-new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at a course called Whispering Pines, and the friends he finds along the way, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey, each written with a genuine strength and a genuine flaw. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, published by Swankeeper Publishing LLC, the book comes as a first-edition hardcover for $29.97, a softcover for $14.97, an audiobook for $9.97, and in read-along and listen-along formats with an original song, "Swing Away." A club member choosing a gift for a fellow member’s child, or a parent shopping for their own family, can offer this book knowing it fits the tone of a club holiday event. It is the first book in a series, with a second story already set in Italy, giving families something to discuss at future club gatherings as the series continues.
