At any given moment in time, as the world turns, millions of men and women are hacking, duffing, topping and shanking golf balls on resort courses and goat tracks from Pebble Beach to Pratt's Bottom. Mulligan documents a single, glorious spring week in the golfing lives of three such hacks in their quest for the inaugural Coolum Cup on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Long-term mates and the keepers of each other's most intimate secrets, they pick and plod their way across numerous courses during their annual 'away' tour, carrying the heavy bag towards mid-life and an uncertain future. Who will lift the dung-shaped cup? Will Farquharson utilise his famous stroke-reducing pencil on his scorecard? Will the tech-savvy Dog stay off his mobile phone long enough to hit the longest drive in history? And who, in a threesome built on trust and old fashioned Australian mateship, will sneak the first mulligan? For the first time Mulligan takes you into the inner-sanctum of hackdom, reveals what is really spoken inside the mannered citadel of the golf course, and exposes the often hilarious, often heartbreakingly sad architecture of ordinary lives on the brink of change.

The hysterical story bestseller about one man's epic Celtic sojourn in search of ancestors, nostalgia, and the world's greatest round of golf By turns hilarious and poetic, A Course Called Ireland is a magnificent tour of a vibrant land and paean to the world's greatest game in the tradition of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. In his thirties, married, and staring down impending fatherhood, Tom Coyne was familiar with the last refuge of the adult male: the golfing trip. Intent on designing a golf trip to end all others, Coyne looked to Ireland, the place where his father has taught him to love the game years before. As he studied a map of the island and plotted his itinerary, it dawn on Coyne that Ireland was ringed with golf holes. The country began to look like one giant round of golf, so Coyne packed up his clubs and set off to play all of it-on foot. A Course Called Ireland is the story of a walking-averse golfer who treks his way around an entire country, spending sixteen weeks playing every seaside hole in Ireland. Along the way, he searches out his family's roots, discovers that a once-poor country has been transformed by an economic boom, and finds that the only thing tougher to escape than Irish sand traps are Irish pubs.
