Play It Again Sam!
You don't have to play golf to enjoy this "special day."
But golfers will certainly understand its significance!
Today is "Mulligan Day!"
Basically a "mulligan" is an opportunity to start again.
You could call it a "Do Over Day!"
You get to play it again Sam!
According to the U.S. Golf Association, there are three
possible explanations for the term and its meaning, all
relating to a David Mulligan. "One day Mulligan hit a very
long drive off the first tee, just not straight, and acting on
impulse re-teed and hit again. His partners found it all
amusing, and decided that the shot that Mulligan himself
called a 'correction shot' deserved a better named, so they
called it a 'mulligan.'"
Students may want to mention this unusual "holiday" to
their teacher in the event of a bad test score.
If you've done anything wrong on your first try today
you should get a second chance.
Of course you can't count on mulligans to save your
whole day!
I don't think you'll get one if you're already driving
south on the Interstate's north bound lanes!
You should also be careful when using your mulligan.
Your boss, for instance, may not be observing this
day like the rest of us! A "non believer" like that
could force you to restart your entire career!
I actually wanted to start this whole Blog over.
But I'm writing it on Tuesday so I don't qualify!
I switched on the Presidential debate for just a moment
then, Tuesday or not, gave myself what I consider to be
a well deserved "mulligan" and got back to baseball!
Hope you'll use your "mulligan" wisely and that all
your NEWS is good!
