There are some notorious mulligan men. A well known mulligan affectionado was Bill Clinton taking 5 or 6 per round. Ike Eisenhower would not allow mulligans. George Bush Sr. was a moderate when it came to mulligans. When questioned about a mulligan he took, John Kennedy retorted “I can take mulligans, I’m the President!”

I believe in the 1 mulligan rule. If your group agrees, each player can take 1 mulligan per round. What the heak, we’re not pro’s, yet we do play difficult championship courses. I say long live the mulligan!
