My own opinion on the matter is that traditional Cali rules of one extra throw per hole is generally not enough to make up for the lack of a partner throwing a second shot from every lie. But... giving the same player the ability to throw, see the result, make corrections, and re-throw, then choosing the best one is generally more advantageous than having a partner.
I like the "mulligan" modification that if you want to pay twice, you get the option to throw twice from each lie... but if you throw the second shot you must play from the second shot.
It is my understanding that in Cali rules you "must" play from the second shot. Not really best shot.
So many years ago here in WI we started playing "mid-west rules" where you could play from throwers choice making it a more true "best shot"
