About the Book
Lizbeth, the Little Lost Golf Ball is a story for children ages 3–8 that follows Lizbeth, a bright pink golf ball, as she embarks on her very first adventure after being chosen by junior golfer JoJo. Along the way, Lizbeth meets a cast of delightful characters — including Putter Pete, Frida Flag, and Claude Cup — who introduce her to the world of golf. When Lizbeth accidentally lands in a pond, a wise golf ball named Teddy and the friendly Genji Gator help her discover that hope, kindness, and friendship can always guide you home.
The book has earned glowing praise from parents, grandparents, educators, and golf professionals. As one PGA Professional noted, the story reminds readers that “golf isn’t just about hitting shots — it’s about the adventures, connections, and life lessons we find along the way.” A former preschool teacher described it as the kind of book that could spark a child’s interest in golf even with no prior experience with the sport.
