A bit of ancient Scottish folklore attributes the Northern Lights to a mythical tribe of creatures called the Nimble Men. “The Nimble Men” is the tale that myth inspired, one that weaves the colorful spirit of golf with the equally colorful legend. It’s a golf story. But like any good golf story, it’s about more than just golf. When a woman in a broken marriage enters an antique shop on a rainy day, she ends up getting more than she bargained for. Depressed and searching for answers, she hears the tale of two Scottish golfers from rival clans locked in mortal antipathy, and how a mythical being helps to reconcile them. She leaves the shop determined to seek a reconciliation of her own. It’s a story of love and hatred, friends and enemies, conflict and resolution, hope and magic. “The Nimble Men” is the first in a new series of golf stories: “Golf Is No Ordinary Game.”
