The National Mulligan Day is observed every year on October 17. It’s a day dedicated to the idea of a “mulligan” — a second chance, a do‑over — not just in golf but in life.

Mulligans; Not just for golfers!!

The precise origin of National Mulligan Day is not well documented, but it has become a popular “fun holiday” in the United States. The concept stems from the golf term “mulligan,” which refers to a player being allowed to replay a shot (informally, without penalty) after a poor one. Over time, the idea of giving oneself or others a second chance expanded beyond the golf course into everyday life.

When I played golf I never took any mulligans, but I never hit many shots from the short grass either. Playing golf like Magellan...all over the world it seemed.
