Why should a golf camp or clinic hand this out as a take-home gift at the end of the session?

A golf camp or academy has clear reasons to send *Once Upon a Golf Swing* home with campers. First, the story reinforces exactly what a week of clinics is about, trying, struggling, and getting better, shown through Ace, a brand-new golf ball who gets lost on his first swing and has to find his way home. Second, the characters, Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey, each carry a genuine strength and a genuine weakness, echoing the mix of confidence and struggle every young golfer feels during a week of learning something new. Third, the lesson comes through the story itself rather than a stated rule, which fits how camps already teach, through doing rather than lecturing. Fourth, the game’s language is respected, the club swings and the ball flies, never hit, matching the correct terms an instructor spends the week reinforcing. Fifth, the pricing works well as a program add-on or camp-store item, a $29.97 hardcover, $14.97 softcover, and $9.97 audiobook, plus read-along and listen-along editions and an original theme song, "Swing Away," that can double as a camp singalong. It is the first book in a series, with book two set in Italy, written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes through Swankeeper Publishing, 62 pages for ages 3 to 6.
