How does a golf storybook serve a First Tee family looking for a meaningful holiday gift?

A First Tee family looking for a meaningful holiday gift is served by *Once Upon a Golf Swing*, a 62-page illustrated storybook built for ages 3 to 6 that extends the program’s core values into the home. First Tee chapters spend their sessions teaching honesty, respect, and perseverance through golf, and this book gives families a way to keep that conversation going away from the course. It follows Ace, a brand-new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines and has to work through fear before he finds his way, meeting Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey along the journey, 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, it 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 editions with an original song, "Swing Away." A First Tee coach or parent can use this book as a bedtime story that reflects the same lessons taught in weekly sessions, giving a child a chance to hear those ideas again in a different setting. It is the first book in a series, with a second story already set in Italy, so the values a chapter teaches this season have a book to grow alongside them.
