F.C. Salas
The world of the Fairway Friends began when F.C. Salas picked up his first golf club at the age of four, and he has played on courses around the world ever since. It has been taking shape all along, built on decades of fairway experiences and life events. Now it arrives as Once Upon a Golf Swing, the first adventure in the Fairway Friends Adventures series.
About the creators: F.C. Salas writes the Fairway Friends Adventures. Cristina C. Cortes brings those adventures to life as Art Director: the illustrations, the music, the audiobook. They work as a family team, and every creative decision here is theirs.
We believe a children’s book earns its place by being wanted, not by being good for you. If a child does not ask for it a second time, nothing else about it matters much.
So we write for delight first, and let the virtues travel along, the way they do in any story worth reading more than once. We also write for the person holding the book. Reading aloud is one of the few things a grown-up does that returns them to their own childhood, and we would rather that moment be worth having.
Thank you for reading with your little one. It is the whole reason any of this exists.

Children's Story Book
Once Upon a Golf Swing (Fairway Friends Adventures, Book One) · Ages 3 to 6 · 68 pages Ace is a brand new golf ball with a big dream. Fresh from the box, never played, not a scuff on him, he imagines the day someone will launch him soaring over the fairway. Then his very first swing sends him somewhere he never pictured: lost, alone, in the tall grass of Whispering Pines. Eventually he meets others. Speedy, who broke the sound barrier on a three-hundred-yard drive. Daisy. Sandman, who knows every grain of the bunker. Splash, who has seen the bottom of the pond. Rangey, a scuffed old range ball who laughs about bouncing off pine trees all day. Each one carries a story, and not one of those stories is about a perfect shot. What Ace learns, whisper by whisper from bag to bag, is that the magic of the game was never the score. It is the friends you make along the way, and the courage to keep swinging after the shot that goes wrong. Written by a family team, this read-aloud picture book turns a first bad break into a first real friendship, and tells every child that a scuff is just the beginning of a story worth telling. |
