What are the reasons to choose a golf storybook for a PGA junior program family this Christmas?

There are several strong reasons to choose *Once Upon a Golf Swing* for a PGA junior program family this Christmas. First, it is written for ages 3 to 6, which covers the years right before most children register for their first PGA Junior League team or clinic, so the timing fits naturally. Second, the story of Ace, a golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines, mirrors exactly what a new player might feel walking up to a team match for the first time, nervous but not alone. Third, the friends Ace meets, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey, each carry a real weakness alongside a real strength, teaching teamwork and persistence through the plot instead of a lecture, which fits the coaching style many PGA programs already use. Fourth, the formats, a hardcover for $29.97, a softcover for $14.97, an audiobook for $9.97, and read-along and listen-along editions, give a busy team family flexibility for practice-night car rides or bedtime reading. Fifth, the original song, "Swing Away," gives a young player something to hum on the way to a match. Finally, it is book one of a series, with book two already set in Italy, so this Christmas gift becomes the beginning of a shelf a junior league family can build season after season. Written by F.C. Salas, illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, published by Swankeeper Publishing LLC.
