Mulligans?

Oooo, yes. My thoughts exactly. Part of getting better is learning how to get yourself out of the horrible drive you just had. Comes in handy during tournaments. At the same time if I am getting ready for a tournament on a particular course, I want to know what a good tee shot looks like as well, so I will throw a second and play the first.
Yes, and now part of me wants to come up with the mathmatical formula that proves this.

This is what I do as well. If the course isn't busy I will throw an extra shot here or there but I always use my first so I know how I played.
I'd give a stranger or a guy off this site as many mulligans as he wanted. I play for fun. Usually. But if I am playing with my 2 local buddies they ain't getting sh*t. If they try to take an extra inch on a lie I'm calling them on it. And when their putts bounce out I am letting them have it. It's just the way it is.

Damn, I am glad I never flubbed my shot while I was playing a round with you.
Ha ha, That rule is purely voluntary, but we will make more fun of you if you decide not to do it.
It is a little scary on those ridiculous long holes where the lady tees are a ways up there!
If I'm keeping score either by myself or when competing against others casually I never use mulligans and here's why... I want a *real* score at the end of my round, because that is how I guage my game and progress. If I go out and shoot a 60 (let's say), well was that 60 with one mulligan or none, or was I playing with someone who allows one per 9.. See, the score becomes meaningless. Also, if I go out and shoot a personal best but used mulligans then the score is immediately tainted. Your score is how you measure yourself, and when playing casual I could care less how I finish against my friends, all I care about is what I shot.
The worst though is friends who talk **** after "beating" you when using mulligans. Actually it is not the worst, it is hilarious and I tell them to STFU.

I don't use them at all. when I played ball golf years ago my group would usually play the 1 mulligan per 18 off the tee rule

Rate of Play
Its usually too crowed to take an extra shot for me, If I'm warming up at a course for a tournament I'll just play the whole 9 or 18 multiple times quickly. That way if I **** up on the same hole all three times I play a round I'll know to play a lot safer during the tournament, or just not go for the specific shot that I can almost make but always seem to miss. Find the easiest way to get a better score on the course as a whole.

I have mentioned my old groups "Traids" in numerous other threads, I'll get you a link
I think I explained this once before, but my friends in NY had a system called Triads, basically 3 limited mulligans.
New people were allowed 3 do overs, but you could use only one per hole. In the begining you can do 3 of any one of these or mix them (ex. 2 hit baskets 1 redrive):
1) if your disc hits the basket you may count it as in.
2) if you have a crappy drive you may re-throw
3) 1 redo of any OB / water hazard.
After a while (say once they are shooting with in 15-20 of your score for 18
Then ween them off so they can play the real rules.
The triads usually don't improve your score more than 5 strokes, but it takes pressure off of the new player, also the new players don't get as penalized by mistakes/ bad shots, so their is less frustration. (just explain that this is a handicapping system, not the rules of Disc Golf)
There you go
i like it but i loke your sig even more!
No wonder posted scores on this site are so low. I never use a mulligan. Never will.
people who post scores do not use mulligans

Good answer. Mulligans make scores meaningless!

I agree, I also won't play the mulligan nonsense any longer. It's bascially cheating.
Should there be a mens, womens, childrens, transgender pars for each course? How should we measure scores? I hate mulligans too, but some people think rules should be kind of flexible. I mean, you might be good and a 325' hole could be par 3 for you, but for a person considering a transgender operation maybe it should be a par 4. He/She has a lot on his/her mid. I think. Any thoughs?

When my kids and I go out I give them mulligans on their drive, but only if they can run and get their disc and get back on the tee before I count down from 10...you should see them run!
When playing with adults or actually keeping score, I don't use mulligans at all.
