At last, the true nature of the universe has been revealed, and as many of us long suspected the mystery all began with a very special round of golf. In Starting Time, Bobby and Mickey -- that famous first twosome -- tee it off at the original Big Bang and the universe unfolds as nine miraculous holes, each a world unto itself. The match is on. Bobby smacks a shot off a buffalo pie and from deep beneath a lake. Mickey counters with a shot hit naked from the sea and scimitar-struck putts rattle into the middle of the cup. Accompanied by their raucous zoological gallery, these pre-eternal partners play through the birth of the nations, into the opaque and unblinking eye of death, and towards a shimmer much like a promise. The first round ends if it does, on the Road Hole at a place that's almost the St Andrews we know and love. Bobby and Mick, dressed, go at it hard as creators, playing partners, and adversaries, gloriously battling the tribulation of golf as they aim for that sweet spot that marks the smooth swing of ecstasy.
