I'm all about the "mulli reload". That's where before your club has made it through your backswing your hand is in your pocket and pulling out a new ball (w/tee), teeing and striking before the first one has even had a chance to stop rolling.

I've got it down to a science.

No mulligans, cause it really makes you blind to what you really shoot. If you really want to improve, I suggest giving them up.

If you're turning in the score for hdcp, absolutely not! If you're messing around with you're buddies, and everyone agrees, take as many as you want. Just don't try to pass that off as a real score.

Just say no!!!

Are you channeling Nancy Reagan, or the modern day Republican party?

All good players I know do this, oh, and me, it's why you play practice rounds.

The group I play with allows for 1 mulligan off the 1st tee if you want it. We don't have a functional range, so I don't think it's too bad. You can only take so many practice swings. I have played with people that take loads of mulligans and cheat like crazy though. They tell me they got a 6 when it was clearly a 10. I don't know why people play that way. If I take 10, I take 10. No point in lying about it.

However, when I play by myself and the course is not busy, I play shots over, practice pitch shots, chips, etc. In fact the 2 times I played by myself this season, I haven't even used a score card yet. Just out there hitting balls.

Not a fan of mulligans.....I just take my punishment and move on.....

Granted, I have seen guys use the old "two off the first tee" rule.....doesn't bother me, they can do what they want.....some people take a mulligan every other hole - I actually find this entertaining, usually it's just a guy who likes to have a good time, no biggie....

When I first started playing I would take mulligans all the time, it wasn't about keeping score but trying to string a couple good shots together. Mostly played by myself in the late afternoons so it didn't affect pace of play and the times when i was paired up i would hit my tee shot, if it was crap just pick it up and play best ball.

Still take mulligans, but now just call them 3.

No mulligans.

If I am playing by myself and the course is wide open, I may drop another ball & hit a couple extra shots into a green or something. But the first ball is always counted for handicap purposes.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
