How does this storybook compare to other corporate or tournament gift options for families?

Compared to other corporate or tournament gift options aimed at families, such as a branded kids’ visor, a mini golf set, or a logoed water bottle for children, *Once Upon a Golf Swing* offers something a family reads together instead of something a child simply wears or carries.

Branded items are common at tournaments for good reason, they are practical and inexpensive at scale. But a visor or a water bottle rarely gets picked up again after the event. *Once Upon a Golf Swing* is a 62-page illustrated storybook for ages 3 to 6, written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, following Ace, a brand-new golf ball, as he gets lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines and finds friends in Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey.

The best-selling children’s golf book in the category was published in 1999, with no audio edition, no song, and no continuing cast. This book comes with an audiobook, read-along and listen-along editions, and an original song, "Swing Away," and is the first entry in a series, with book two set in Italy.

Organizers with a mixed gifting budget often use both approaches together, a small branded item for every attendee alongside this book for families with young children. The branded item marks attendance. The book gives a family something to return to at bedtime, which is often what makes an event memorable well after the trophies have been handed out.
