Mulligan's in golf comp!

[Kennysarmy]

Never played in a competition before where mulligans were allowed!

Could there be any strategy to this?

Keep them to the back nine where more scores have to count I'm thinking.

Quite like this, imagine some will moan about slowing things a bit but a bit of extra strategy is great

I've played in many charity days where you can buy mulligans.

In the above example, it is limited to a putt, so won't wont slow play hardly at all. If you miss a short one that's the retake or one lagged to 35 feet!

It’s a non-qualifying comp, maybe it’s historical or particularly relevant to Mike Alcott.

We play 2 (non-qualifying) comps that do not comply with 1 or 2 rules of Golf, but have been played for over 100yrs.

Enjoy it.

I reckon there must be many historical qualifying comps where a lot of players don't comply with 1 or 2 rules of golf.

I have always tred to get our guys to play one of these but one rule I would make is that Mulligans cannot be taken on the putting green.

The format I would use is that Mulligans are taken as your handicap strokes e.g . a 10 handicap player gets 10 Mulligans or whatever the limit is set at.

Similar to @IanM I've seen these in charity days, although I've never seem them limited to putts only. It has always made me smile that so many mulligan's were wasted in a fit of rage, duff shot, stomp to bag, drop ball, duff second shot as still angry. I made sure to only use mine when calm, not always easy.

A great fun idea, it makes you think.

Sounds fun, I do like interesting formats away from the norm - spices things up.

I can recall playing in such events over the years. I took my mulligans on putts even if they were allowed elsewhere. I really like 4-club comps. Not seen any 4-club comps for a long time, they usually allowed a mulligan or two. One event you were allowed to throw the ball for one shot - still counted as a shot. Useful in a bad lie in a bunker or in the trees.

Great for a bit of fun. Adds a bit more strategy.

I used to play an annual matchplay against a mate where we had 2 mulligans each. And 2 brannigans - where you could make your opponent replay his shot. It was such a laugh.

A friend's club used to do a competition with 2 kicks and a mulligan.
