Why would someone who follows the LPGA choose this book as a gift for a young fan's family?

Fans of the LPGA and women’s professional golf tend to appreciate stories that respect the sport’s difficulty and heart, and *Once Upon a Golf Swing* was written with that in mind. The first reason to choose it is the honesty of its story. Ace, a brand-new golf ball, is lost on his first swing, and the fear in that moment is real before the story turns toward hope, an arc that mirrors the highs and lows fans watch play out on tour every week. The second reason is the cast. Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey each carry a real weakness next to a real strength, which reflects how actual competitors are built, not flawless, but resilient. The third reason is craft, the lesson about getting back up after a hard start never gets spoken aloud, it shows through what happens, which is the kind of storytelling adult fans of the game will recognize as well done. The fourth reason is that the language of the sport is treated properly, the club swings and the ball flies, never hit. The fifth reason is completeness, a $29.97 hardcover, $14.97 softcover, $9.97 audiobook, plus read-along and listen-along editions and an original theme song, "Swing Away." 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.
