About Charles Hellman

I have written a golf novel entitled BOGIE – Golf as it was. It’s an intriguing story not only of golf but Irish/Scottish life, pirates and the supernatural. Step back in time to the mid-18th century; feel the chill of the Scottish wind on your Irish face. This whimsical story relives the adventures and lives of two unlikely caddies/golfers — a dysfunctional orphan boy named Bogie and, the alcoholic pirate named Mulligan. Discover how they influenced and shaped golf’s history. The legacy of Bogie and Mulligan still lives in every player who swings a club today. Experience their encounters as they uncover the kindred spirits and ghosts who haunt the Links of St. Andrews, Scotland. Find out the curse these wandering souls placed on golfers. Spooky. Creepy. Huh? A lighthearted-read for anyone with a love of the game of golf and its history.
