I wonder what percentage of golfers play using "Mulligans" or Winter "wipe and replace" rules even in the dead of Summer?

Many golfers are social players only and seem to "agree" on the rule variations amongst themselves.

I think if you want to play in tourneys or have a handicap, you need to count them all. Take a stroke for the unplayable lie. If it's not for a "serious score" like a tourney or a bet, then what does it matter if you count it? And if it is a serious score... play by the rules.

Like the American who asked his Scottish caddie at St. Andrews, "What do the Scots call a "Mullagan"?

"Lying 3".
