Count on Golf, The ABC's of Golf, Swing Into Opposites with Golf , Junior Golf Journal, Consider It Golf: Golf Etiquette and Safety Tips for Children! Susan Greene's children golf books are a wonderful collection to own. Years ago, I was looking for a book about golf for my niece and came across ABC's of Golf. She loved the bears and the rhythms and I loved that she was learning the game of golf. So, I bought Count on Golf, Opposites of Golf and Consider It Golf. I have since bought the collection for each of my great nieces and nephew. My niece (now 10) loves to read the books to them and beams when she tells them she has the same books....then I beam!! I'm waiting for them to get a little older before I give them the Junior Golf Journal but ordered one for myself. It's a keepsake!
Excellent for teaching golf etiquette to young players

This is an attractive and informative book that appeals to young readers. My grandson loved it, and we quizzed him on the rules of the gentleman's game after he read it and he didn't miss a one. There is nothing more annoying that being at a golf course with one who doesn't mind his golf manners, so it is good to start them off right. I highly recommend this book.
My kids LOVE THE QUIZ!

Not only is this a well written informative book about basic safety and etiquette put in a rhythmic verse, it has a True or False test at the end of the book to test your skills when your done reading. My kids Love being quized to see what they have learned. Some of the questions really get them giggling one of my kids favorites is: True or False- you always yell FORE before a Putt. I found this to be the best book on golf for the 2-6 age range by far!! It gives a great basic knowledge on how to be considerate and not get yourself killed on a golf course and for me with kids that age- it's pretty much all I'm shooting for :) I'm looking forward to getting more of her books on this sport that my children are so over the moon about!
A great introduction to the safety and manners of golf.

My children are already fascinated with game of golf because their father is a golf nut. This book puts many of the golf rules and safety concerns into easy to understand kid language. It's a great place to start when introducing your child to golf. A word of caution...the quiz at the end is a great review, but some of the questions are worded in a tricky way for young children to answer correctly (and for anyone else who isn't "test-savvy"). The illustrations are charming, too.
