About the Authors
We’re Kendal and Connor, two college buddies who bonded over countless rounds of golf, late-night laughs, and a shared passion for storytelling. Years after graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo we reconnected in Denver, reminiscing about our favorite rounds and the lessons golf taught us. That’s when the idea for Dimples' Remarkable Round was born. A children’s book that brings golf to life through the adventures of Dimples the golf ball and his friends, The Clubs.
Kendal Shomura

Dimples’ Remarkable Round marks his third children's book, following the release of See Sushi: A to Z and When You Dream. When he's not sketching new characters or designing, you can usually find him out on the golf course, drawing inspiration from the game for Dimples' next big adventure.
