Questions Parents & Golfers Ask
For Parents and Grandparents
What is your Locker?
Your family’s own page on FairwayFriendsAdventures.com. Everything you buy lives there forever: download it on any device, any time. Membership is complimentary and begins the moment you open your Walled Garden or make a purchase.
How do I get in without a password?
Your welcome email carries a personal magic link, and pressing it opens your locker. On a phone that has already joined, one tap on “Enter my Locker” takes you in. If you ever misplace the link, enter your email on the invitation and the Clubhouse recognizes its members.
What is the Walled Garden?
A walled garden inside your locker, made only for your young golfers. One press on the pulsating golf ball and the garden is theirs: the Fairway Friends talk to them by name, the stories play, and everything your family owns is there in full.
Can my child wander out of the Walled Garden?
Not on their own. The only door out asks a quick grown-up math question, so small golfers stay in the Walled Garden until you come get them. It is not foolproof. Some children are very good at math very early, so young golfers should still be supervised.
Do my purchases really stay forever?
Yes. Downloads are unlimited and never expire, there are no license keys, and your locker keeps everything across every device. Buy once, and it is simply yours.
For the Young Golfers
Who talks to me in the Walled Garden?
The Fairway Friends, all of them. Press a friend and you can hear them speak in their own voice. More things to see and hear are always arriving in the Walled Garden.
Can I hear and see the whole story?
Yes. Press the Listen-Along and the picture book reads itself to you, page by page, with no words on the screen, for young readers who cannot read just yet. If you would rather just hear the story, press the Audiobook. If your family owns them, you can listen as many times as you like.
How do I go back to the grown-up page?
Press the golf ball at the top left that says Enter my Locker. It asks a little math question to open the door, so bring a grown-up.
For Golfers and Gift Givers
Is there a golf book for kids ages 3–6?
Yes. Once Upon a Golf Swing is a golf storybook written specifically for ages 3 to 6, the first book from Fairway Friends Adventures. It follows Ace, a brand-new golf ball who learns that friendship and courage matter more than the score.
What’s a good golf gift for a young child?
Once Upon a Golf Swing is a keepsake golf storybook made for ages 3 to 6, a lasting gift instead of another toy or set of clubs. It comes with everything included, as a hardcover or a softcover.
Is it good for a child who can’t read yet?
Yes. The Listen-Along Storybook shows the illustrations with narration read aloud and no text on screen, made for pre-readers. The Read-Along E-Storybook shows the full text on screen with narration for emerging readers.

Can I give it as a gift if I don’t have their address?
Yes. Gift the Experience: type their name and address at checkout, or ship it to yourself and hand it over.
What does a friend get when I give the book as a gift?
Their own Locker. Every gift copy comes with a one-use gift code, and the code waits in your Locker under “Your gift to give.” Send it to your friend: they open fairwayfriendsadventures.com/gift, type the code and their own email, and press Open my gift. The door to their own Locker arrives by email, with the audiobook, the Read-Along, the Listen-Along and the song inside. A code works once.
Can I buy one copy for me and one for a friend?
Yes. Press Buy the Experience, then Send as Gift, and the cart holds one copy for you and one gift. Both ship to you in one order. Sending the gift to a different address? Press Ship separately in the cart: you check out your own copy first, then the gift as a second order with your friend’s address.
