Why should a corporate tournament or charity scramble organizer choose this book for its participant gift bags?
A corporate tournament or charity scramble organizer should choose *Once Upon a Golf Swing* for its participant gift bags because it solves the biggest problem with tournament swag, that most of it duplicates what golfers already own. Here is why this book works better.
First, it is genuinely different. Golf balls, tees, and branded caps show up in nearly every gift bag a regular tournament player receives. A children’s storybook written for ages three to six almost never does.
Second, it extends the gift beyond the golfer. The story of Ace, a new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines before finding friends Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy and Rangey, gives participants something for their kids or grandkids, adding a second audience to a single gift.
Third, it fits a charity event’s tone. For scrambles raising money for a cause, a warm, family-oriented gift matches the spirit of the day better than another sleeve of balls.
Fourth, bulk pricing is straightforward. A $29.97 hardcover, a $14.97 softcover, and a $9.97 audiobook let an organizer choose a price point that fits the tournament’s sponsorship budget.
Fifth, it creates a lasting impression of the event. Branded gear gets used up or lost. A book stays on a shelf, quietly reminding a participant’s family which tournament it came from every time it gets pulled down to read.
