Mulligans & Pace of Play

[Dave2512]

It's the reason they have to hit the mulligan that creates the slow down, multiple bad shots and the subsequent searching. I see it all the time and it makes me nuts.

I use to play a mulli before I started on my breaking 90 quest.  We would do one on a side and I would only use it if I was OB.  A lot of times I didn't even use it.  I haven't use one this year as I am counting everything and playing by the rules.

If you want to use one or two, no prob its your call and remember that you used them if you are gonna brag about your score.  Like a couple weeks ago on one of my 88s my buddy took one on the front 9 for a dub and two on the back for shots in the water and at the 19th he was like "hey I was close to your 88 with my 93!"  I said what?  You were more like 97.  Don't forget the 2 mulligans you used for the pond shots.  He had a confused look for a bit but I think he figured it out.

Another time we were behind a 3 some and they were hitting two balls a lot on every hole.  We were talking to them on the 18th Tee and asked how they were shooting and they were like Good rounds 82, 85 and 87.  My friend and I asked if they were counting all their shots and they had a stunned look as we asked about all the seconds shots.  Each guy playing best ball out of two shots?  They got real defensive and we got louder and they finally hit and only played one ball on the last hole.  Should have spoke up earlier as it was a slow round due to them,

Hey,  you are only cheating yourself playing like that.  To each his own... I play by the rules!

Mulligan first tee only, and only if nobody is behind me. If my first tee shot is acceptable, I do not take the mulligan. Most of the time I don't need it. As I'm getting better at golf even my ugly shots land in play. 

What drives me crazy is people doing all kinds of shots over, playing multiple balls on every hole. Multiple drivers, chips, putts. Now that I have this Bushnell I can see them doing it in 6x magnification.
