Whaaat? You mean I shouldn't picture myself swinging a dead raccoon attached to a garden hose in a barrel while wearing plus-fours and singing "On Top of Old Smokey?"

Damn that Leadbetter.

Well, it would be nice to sink a few more putts. I shot three over today with two three-putts and numerous makable birdie attempts that I couldn't capitalize on. Of course, it was a mountain courts with greatly sloping greens.

Judge, stop your bellyachng. Follow my advice -- take your three-over on your mountain course and be happy with it.

Golf is insidious: you always want more.

If you didn't lose money, you should be thrilled.

......and invidious... as I'm not likely to achieve 3-over any time soon.

Mulligans may only be taken on the 1st tee, when it's clear it's otherwise going to be yet another practise round.

There you go with that Euro-mentality again. Rules, rules, rules for everything.

Bill Clinton takes dozens of mulligans a round.

George Bush is a stickler.

You decide.

Mmmmmm! This fence is sooooo comfortable. OK - I'm more scared of Alex than of you - even with a big pond between us.

No mulligans here, Wendy. Although I could have used one on nine today.

Mulligans are for mortals, Judge.

Tim, in the spirit of compromise, I have thought long and hard and have decided that one may also take a mulligan on one's birthday at a hole of one's choice, apart from any hole which features water OR lateral hazards placed right across the fairway at one's optimum driving distance.

Hey, I'm all about compromise.

I accept your Solomon-like ruling and will follow it to the letter, as well as ensure my playing partners do the same. I will also notify the USGA.

Of course, it's going to be tough to do considering I live in Florida, which has more water than the great ocean that separates us.

Have A Committee Meeting on 1st Tee at start of every round. Apply "Extreme Wetness" under Local Rules (It's Only A Game). Withdraw local rule as soon as round finished - under no circumstances print local rule on scorecard - otherwise USGA MUST be notified (and who wants visitors to benefit?). For the sake of "Golf Rules Explained", I should clarify that A Committee must consist of two or more people. If you are playing golf by yourself, there is no obviously no such thing as a mulligan.

"Extreme wetness?"

Sounds like either a sex act or one of my tee shots.
