Jake Calloway is twelve years old, and he has quit every sport he's ever tried.When his summer plans fall apart, he ends up spending every weekday at his Grandpa Sal's house - an ex-greenskeeper who spent thirty years caring for a golf course he was never allowed to play. Sal has a bag of old clubs and a lifetime of lessons to give. Jake has nothing to lose. What starts as a way to pass the time becomes the most important thing Jake has ever found. But the summer is about more than golf. Sal has good days and bad days, and Jake finds himself showing up every morning for someone who needs him - learning that some lessons have nothing to do with a swing. Golf Kid: The First Swing is a warm, funny story about finding the thing you love, and the people who help you find it. The first book in the Golf Kid series by Mike Stanton. Perfect for readers aged 8-12, reluctant readers, junior golfers, and anyone who hasn't found their thing yet.
