"BOGIE - Golf... as it was" is a golf novel about a father-son relationship during the 18th Century in St. Andrews, Scotland. (See www.BogieGolf.com) Picture yourself transported back in time over 250 years to the bustling Scottish seaport of St. Andrews. Now, imagine meeting a mischievous sporting lad named Bogie and his colorful father, Mulligan, who've just landed at the birthplace of golf; eager to learn everything there is to know about the game.
Charles Hellman, author, golf historian, and long time devotee of the sport, takes you back to the
years before that time imagining life as it was in the birthplace of golf - St. Andrews, Scotland,
and weaves a marvelous tapestry of fact and fiction that offers the reader credible answers to the
origins of golf customs and traditions. The book's characters are imaginary but believable and very
colorful. Combine that with historically accurate accounts of the lifestyles of the era, the links, the
golfers, the caddies, the clubs & balls and the manner of how the game of golf was played and you
have a story anybody would enjoy reading and talking about for years to come. This book is for golfers and wannabees who yearn to know more about golf's past. The same game has been played for hundreds of years, yet little is recorded before 1750.
