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