Golf Media, Associations and Pro Shops
Built for golf editors, association directors, junior program leaders and green grass retail. Everything on this page is yours to use, and everything on it is checkable.
Write to the ClubhouseThe fact that makes this a story
The children’s golf category has stayed mostly alphabet books, board books for toddlers, and instruction.
Golf has produced a century of great writing for adults and almost nothing that a four-year-old asks for twice. That is the gap Fairway Friends Adventures was built to fill.
Why it matters to the golf world specifically
Every association, club and junior program in the country works on the same problem: how a child comes to love the game before they can play it well. The equipment aisle answers that with smaller clubs. Nobody has answered it with a story.
A child who is read to about a golf course at four arrives at one at seven already believing they belong there. That is the argument, and it is the reason this book exists.
For associations and junior programs
- Member and family gifting. A keepsake hardcover, Smyth sewn, that survives being loved.
- Junior program welcome gifts. Something a child keeps after the clinic ends.
- Tournament and event gifting for the families who travel with the players.
- Custom Editions. We can produce a version carrying your association or club, for programs and pro shops. Details on the Custom Editions page.
For pro shops and green grass retail
The children’s shelf in most pro shops is toys and miniature apparel. A hardcover storybook sits at a different price point, sells to grandparents as easily as parents, and does not date. Bulk terms are on the Pro Shop page and we answer enquiries the same day.
What the world includes
- Once Upon a Golf Swing, hardcover and softcover, ages 3 to 6
- An audiobook, a read-along and a listen-along edition
- “Swing Away”, the original theme song
- A members’ clubhouse where the world continues between books
- A series that travels: each book is set at a different course, with two more on the way
The origin, for anyone writing about us
A Titleist Pro V1 with a phone number on it in red marker, lost at Lakeview Golf Club in Belmont, New Hampshire, turned up months later in the hand of a stranger named Evan on the tenth green at Cape Breton Highlands Links in Nova Scotia. He had just parred the hole with it. He lost it again on the twelfth. The full telling, with the verifiable details, is in the Press Room.
Talk to us
We answer golf media, association and retail enquiries directly, and we are glad to send review copies, interior spreads, an audio clip of the song, or a creator for an interview.
