BOGIE
Golf... as it wass
by Charles  Hellman

Controversial

BOGIE - Golf... the way it was - This controversial 18th Century historical novel takes place in St. Andrews, Scotland, the birthplace of golf. Golf tournaments were played back in the 18th Century on the Old Course. But not quite by today's standards of the up coming 2010 British Open. The novel is about:

  • A father-son bonding together in a dysfunctional relationship

  • Playing golf on the Old Course of St. Andrews

  • Caddying for gentlemen golfers

  • Golf traditions and terms (origins of the 19th hole, Bogie and Mulligan and much more)

Although a lot of discussion and controversy surrounds the origins of golf, author - Charles Hellman - amplifies this debate by insinuating France was actually the cradle of golf not St. Andrews, Scotland.

Mulligan- Bogie's fatherThe main character in this 18th Century Scottish historical novel is named Mulligan. He is a well-worn, burned-out Irish pirate, tired of the high seas, who now craves a land-lubbing life. At this crossroads of mid-life, Mulligan returns to his roots in Ireland seeking work. Unfortunately, he couldn't find work, but was told that he could go to Scotland and make a great deal of money “carrying sticks.” Although he didn't know what these "sticks" looked like, nor how much they weighed, nor how far he had to carry them... all he knew was he could make a lot of money. Just before Mulligan sets sail for his final destination, there’s another twist. He discovers he has a bastard son, a 12-year-old orphan boy named Bogie. Mulligan decides to take Bogie with him to St. Andrews, Scotland in order  to make twice as much money for himself. United at last for better or worse, they set out to carve out a new life that totally revolves around “carrying sticks.”  
This book has received high praise throughout the golfing community. It’s a must book to read for golfers and wannabees.
