How about ruling that no two consecutive cones on the same side of the car,
and no two out of three consecutive slalom cones, can be bought as
mulligans?
Then if you really want to prevent a mulligan at a specific danger zone,
double-cone the apex and/or exit. (They get to claim one as mulligan, must
take the penalty for the other whether a cone-hit or off-course). Make your
slaloms at least 4 cones and they MUST weave at least two of them.
