This week in golf insanity: no mulligan’s allowed!

By Tangotiger, 06:14 PM

Well, they don’t allow mulligan’s in golf, but they do have penalties, which is great.

When I used to follow track, you would have two false starts for disqualification, but now it’s one and done.

You could have alot of different ways to handle this, be it going back to two false starts, or doing something like adding .20 to a runner’s score, or something smart if that’s too silly. 

It’s like two teams in the World Series, the manager puts out the wrong lineup, and the other team wins by default.

Let’s hear something good, other than disqualification. Go.
