Best Answer

To be "on the stick" means to be doing your task properly. The expression derives either from the baton of an orchestral conductor, in which case on the stick means keeping good time as a musician; or from the Golf club ( called a gowf stick in Scots dialect), in which case on the stickmeans keeping your score down.
