What if the secret to success wasn’t strength or speed, but focus?


In her newly published children’s chapter book, The Secret of the Pinecone Path by BrookeLin Powers, award-winning author, LPGA Class A Professional, and TPI Certified, delivers an adventure that blends golf, nature, science, and life lessons into one compelling journey for young readers.


At its heart, the story teaches one powerful truth from a little birdie: "Focus is the secret power in your mind to choose what path you want to take, and it will help you soar toward your goal!"


"Gideon, Alba, and Zoysia are on a quest from the Gulf Coast to the Sandhills, where the ancient longleaf pines guard the wisdom of legendary golfers. They’re hoping to witness the rare fall of the longleaf pinecones, a spectacle that only happens once every seven years. But the pinecone path holds more surprises than they expect. Along the way, they find themselves surrounded by new sights and distractions like clouds that look like food and screeching cicadas that fall from the sky! With the help of new friends—Mac, the nut-loving chipmunk, and Edyth, the tree kangaroo who escaped from the zoo—they learn chipping and pitching. As they venture northeast, they discover the power of focus. Get ready for another fun adventure filled with discovery, laughter, and new surprises!"


Through engaging illustrations and design, Powers weaves together:

  • Practical golf fundamentals, including chipping, pitching, tournament play, and etiquette

  • STEM-connected themes rooted in wildlife, ecosystems, and the longleaf pine habitat

  • Character-building lessons

  • 128 pages, designed to be dyslexia-friendly and visually engaging

  • Written to inspire curiosity and confidence in kids ages 5+

  • Independent readers ages 7–11, plus read-aloud for younger juniors

  • Readers will learn about: species of birds, science, nature, golf, golf terminology, golf rules, chipping, pitching, declining and endangered species, pace of play, caddying, golf tournaments, and how to handle obstacles on and off the course.


Written and illustrated by Powers herself, the book integrates authentic golf fundamentals, short game skills, rules and etiquette, and tournament preparation, within a warm, nature-rich narrative. The book series speaks to both avid young golfers and children discovering the game for the first time.


While many golf resources focus on mechanics, Powers’ book series emphasizes something deeper: Powerful Parables to help readers soar.


From the author, "Connecting with readers, parents, families, coaches, and teachers is

such a meaningful part of this journey. I’d love to hear what resonated with you, and about your experience! You can also help others discover this book, and begin their own adventure. Whether you recommend it to a friend, or reach out to me directly, every interaction has a lasting impact."


A wholesome kids golf adventure like no other awaits: filled with heart, humor, the power of focus and valuable skills that will help you soar through challenges on the course and in life!


For golf publications and media outlets covering the growth of the junior game, the book represents a broader movement: cultivating not only skilled players, but thoughtful stewards of the sport and the land it’s played on.
