I volunteered at an animal shelter and there was a dog named Mulligan. He was a beautiful golden retriever but he had broken his foot years before and it healed crooked. No one adopted him for a long time, bit finally he found his forever home! 💜💜💜

Let me first make ir clear that I am a Scot, and my ancesters invented golf. Now to clarify: Mulligan was a 17th century innkeeper in rural County Cork, and well-to-do thanks to his famous stew. When he took villagers golfing he paid for everything, so if he flubbed a shot they would say "Just hit another, Mr. Mulligan." So when he wasn't with them they would tell one another to "take a Mulligan." of course you know what we call a Mulligan in Scotland: 3 from the tee."

AnitaGeddaLife, It is indeed! :) 'CertainOgre1' just wanted to clarify and confirm that the game of golf itself is from Scotland, but the term 'mulligan' is most probably based on the story of Mr Mulligan, the Irish innkeeper in Cork. Cheers, stay safe and have a great day! :)

this reminds me of a friend Paul who always took more than his fair share of mulligans and was addicted to golf. One gorgeous Sunday morning he was on the first tee about to hit with his driver. Suddenly a black limo pulls right up to the tee box honking its horn. A ravishing bride gets out the car runs up and shouts " Paul what are you doing ? you supposed to be at the church at 9 a.m. this morning for the ceremony." Paul says " honey I told you: only if it rains."

As for golf unless you're a pro who cares about the score? I was never very good but enjoyed the fresh air and exercise.

CertainOgre1, 👍🏼 not sure where I read this before. However, this was another version I know or apart from the Canadian bloke’s story.

Winged Foot is a beautiful private golf course in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, NY. I saw the PGA championship played there in 1997.

A guy named Terry David Mulligan was a vj in the early days of MuchMusic, but he was interviewing musicians years before... including Jimi Hendrix whose grandmother lived in Vancouver, BC.

whatchu talkin bout, I am Irish and have never heard of this drink. Baileys and creme de mente would curdle so it sounds like a dreadful mixture.
