Mulligan Day is a day when people redo something that didn't turn out the first time. It is a day when people give themselves or others a second chance. Mulligan is a term used in golf when someone who shoots a bad shot is given a do-over. It is only used in informal games, and usually only one extra shot is given per 18 holes, although sometimes a mulligan is given every 9 holes. The term can be applied to other games such as darts as well. The word likely came from David Mulligan, a Canadian golfer prominent in the 1920's, who either hit a poor tee shot, was jumpy and shaky after a shot, or overslept and was late for a shot. Another theory is that John A. "Buddy" Mulligan, a locker room attendant from New Jersey, played golf with a sports writer who started using the term after Mulligan needed a redo after his first shot. The writer, Des Sullivan, used the term in his golf articles for the Newark Evening News. Regardless of which of these stories is true, the term has stuck, and this day is dedicated to it. So, what would you like a second go at?
Quite like Carey Milligan! At the moment I traded a Heinkle Trojan in for a Lambretta SX200, I should have said ...you know what....I'll keep them both ! Don't get me started on ( ex ) wives.
Puckoon quotes... The parish church had stopped at 12 o'clock, at least it was right once a day... Caw said the crow...Balls said Milligan etc..
