🏌️‍♂️| The Alligator's Fairway

About this episode

A bedtime story about a boy named Beckett who learns the importance of patience and awareness while playing golf.

What if the secret to your best round… was learning to stop fighting it? Beckett loves two things more than almost anything — golf and alligators. And if you knew Beckett, that would make perfect sense. Both things require patience. Both things reward the people who slow down and pay attention. But on this warm Florida morning at Maplewood Pines, Beckett is doing neither. Hole one: a topped shot into the rough. A bunker he can't escape. An eight on a par three. By hole four, his jaw is tight, his grip is tighter, and the harder he tries to fix his round, the worse everything gets. Even the turtle in the water hazard looks unimpressed. Then, half-hidden in the shadow beneath the bench at the tee box, something small and still catches the morning light. Ding. Ding. And Whistle asks one quiet question — about alligators, and patience, and what happens when you stop forcing things and start noticing them instead. "The Alligator's Fairway" is a calm, sun-warmed golf bedtime story for kids ages 4–9 that teaches: Patience over pressure — the best shot comes when you stop forcing it Awareness — slowing down to notice what's actually in front of you Resilience — how you finish…
