What are the reasons to choose this storybook for girls following women's professional golf?
There are several reasons to choose *Once Upon a Golf Swing* for young girls who follow women’s professional golf and are just beginning their own junior play. The 62-page book tells the story of Ace, a new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines and meets friends, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy and Rangey, while making his way home.
The first reason is that it introduces the emotional side of golf early, through a story rather than a lecture, moving through wonder, a setback, and then hope and a second chance, which mirrors what these girls will see in their favorite players on tour. The second reason is age fit, since the book targets ages three to six, right at the start of a young fan’s own playing journey. The third reason is format range, with hardcover at $29.97, softcover at $14.97, and an audiobook at $9.97, plus read-along and listen-along editions.
The fourth reason is character depth. Every character, including Daisy, has both a real strength and a real weakness, giving young girls a more complete model than a simple hero story would. The fifth reason is the original song, Swing Away, which adds a sense of identity to the story world. The sixth reason is that this is book one of a series, with book two set in Italy, giving a young fan of the women’s game a story that can grow with her the way her interest in the sport will grow over the years ahead.
