Questions Parents & Golfers Ask
For Parents and Grandparents
What is the Locker Room?
Your family’s own page on FairwayFriendsAdventures.com. Everything you buy lives there forever: play it, download it, come back any time, on any device. Membership is complimentary and begins the moment you open a locker or make a purchase.
How do I get in without a password?
There is no password, ever. Members are simply known at the door. Your welcome email carries a personal magic link, and pressing it opens your locker. If you ever misplace it, 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. No prices, no checkout, nothing to tap that spends money.
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.
What is the scorecard in my locker?
Your family’s round on the Front Nine. As you collect the stories and share them with friends, golf balls land on your scorecard, and you move closer and closer towards the Hall of Fame.
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.
Where are my experiences?
Your experiences are the stories and songs your family owns. Each one appears in your locker room by itself, like a present waiting on the grass.
What are golf balls worth?
Golf balls are the club’s currency, spent in the Den. They have no real cash value and cannot be bought, sold, willed, or exchanged for money. A member who leaves may transfer them to another member first.
How do I go back to the grown-up page?
Press the golf ball at the top left that says Exit. The way out 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 as a hardcover, as gift bundles, or as a gift card, and is a favorite of parents, grandparents, golfers, and teachers.
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.
