Agreed! Careful course design and a limit on the number of "mulligans" will

Craig, the disadvantage of your idea (having an entire run be a "mulligan")
would
be, IMO, a psychological disadvantage. You see, the glee that I expect to feel

time...well,
that has to be one of the best feelings in the world! ;^)
