What is a good corporate golf event gift for attendees with young kids at home?
*Once Upon a Golf Swing* makes a good corporate golf event gift for attendees with young children at home, because the audiobook and listen-along editions give a busy parent something ready to use on the next car ride, without any assembly or setup. The story follows Ace, a brand new golf ball who gets lost on his very first swing at a course called Whispering Pines, and traces his path to being found and making friends with Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey.
For a corporate tournament gift bag, this stands out from the usual golf balls and tees because it reaches beyond the golfer to the whole family. Each character carries a real strength and a real weakness, and the lesson comes through what the characters do, never through anyone explaining it, which keeps the story appealing to a young child regardless of the parent’s own golf background.
The audiobook is priced at $9.97, with a listen-along edition available too. An original song, "Swing Away," runs through the story and gives it a memorable identity beyond the page. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, published by Swankeeper Publishing, it also comes in a $29.97 first-edition hardcover and a $14.97 softcover, giving an event organizer flexibility on format and budget. It is book one of a series, with book two set in Italy. </br>
