Goose on the Green - Book 5: Pressure on a Par Five is the fifth book in an 18-book children's series designed to help young readers build emotional intelligence, resilience, and character, one story at a time.
Each book in the series follows Goose as he learns big feelings, smart choices, and important life lessons from the golf course, one hole at a time.
In this thoughtful story, Goose watches four golfers compete during an exciting skins game filled with big shots, close putts, and growing pressure. As the competition becomes more intense, Goose notices something surprising: the golfers continue encouraging each other, even while trying their best to win. When one player makes an incredible putt, the group celebrates together, and Goose begins to understand something important: healthy competition is not about tearing others down, it is about challenging each other to grow better together.
Through warmth, humor, and playful golf-course storytelling, this story helps children understand confidence, sportsmanship, perseverance, healthy competition, and the importance of supporting others while striving to improve.
Created by Andrea Hogan, PhD, a psychology professor and avid golfer, Goose on the Green blends meaningful life lessons with playful storytelling to support children and the grown-ups who love them.
