We're looking at a Sunday afternoon during spring break when some have said they will be in the area if that suits most everyone. Probably at OSO to keep the green fees down. It and Gabe are in really good shape since CC contracted them out to be run and maintained. If you are sitting on the fence, jump in. These are a lot of fun no matter if you are a golfer or not. Being a scramble you will be on a team so you don't even have to know how it works or anything. Many people have had their introduction to golf this way or never played before or since and all still had a good time.

I haven't seen a date yet? I can't do it on the weekend of 3-10. One of my daughters are getting married then. During that week or the weekend after?

Keep in mind that I get 18 Mulligans. It will cost you though...for the beverage charity. Round of beverages for each Mulligan. A mulligan, in a game, happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action. The practice is also sometimes referred to as a "do-over." Mulligan in golfIn golf, a mulligan is a retaken shot on the first tee box, usually due to a previously errant one. Traditionally, mulligans are allowed only on the first tee shot (one per round) and are not just taken at any time of the golfer's choosing. It is sometimes called a "Finnegan" when the second shot is worse than the first. Golf tournaments held for charity may even sell mulligans to collect more money for the charity. Some social golf games also allow one mulligan per nine holes (thus two for a round of 18). OriginThere are many theories about the origin of the term. The United States Golf Association (USGA) cites three stories explaining that the term derived from the name of a Canadian golfer, David Mulligan, one time manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, who played at the Country Club of Montreal golf course, in Saint-Lambert near Montreal during the 1920s. One version has it that one day after hitting a poor tee shot, Mulligan re-teed and shot again. He called it a "correction shot," but his friends thought it more fitting to name the practice after him. David Mulligan then brought the concept from Canada to the famous U.S. golf club Winged Foot. A second version has the extra shot given to Mulligan due to his being jumpy and shaky after a difficult drive over the Victoria Bridge to the course. The final version of the David Mulligan story gives him an extra shot after having overslept, rushing to get ready to make the tee time. An alternate, later etymology credits a different man named Mulligan β John A. "Buddy" Mulligan, a locker room attendant at Essex Fells C.C., New Jersey. In the 1930s, he would finish cleaning the locker room and, if no other members appeared, play a round with the asst. pro, Dave O'Connell and a club reporter/member, Des Sullivan (later Golf editor for The Newark Evening News). One day his first shot was bad and he beseeched O'Connell and Sullivan to allow another shot since they "had been practicing all morning" and he had not. Once the "OK" had been given and the round finished, Mulligan proudly exclaimed to the members in his locker room for months how he had gotten an extra shot from the duo. The members loved it and soon began giving themselves "Mulligans" in honor of John "Buddy" Mulligan. Shortly, Des Sullivan began using the term in his golf articles in The Newark Evening News. The TV "Today Show" ran this story about 2005 and has it in their archives. Mulligan was located in the '70s at a VA Hospital on Long Island. According to the author Henry Beard, the term comes from Thomas Mulligan, a minor Anglo-Irish aristocrat and passionate golfer who was born on May 1, 1793 and lived near Lough Sclaff, on the Shannon estuary, in a modest manor house called Duffnaught Hall, which was totally destroyed in a mysterious fire one week after his death on April 1, 1879. Mulligan is said to have written, "Inasmuch as strokes taken after play is concluded on the 18th hole do not count towards the total entered on one's tally card, it seems to me eminently reasonable that any shots struck before play is properly commenced with a satisfactory drive on the first tee, should be of no more consequence to one's score than those swings which one has made by way of practice in the course of hitting balls upon the driving ground."[citation needed] In short, the player's first tallied stroke for a game is the first playable drive from the first tee, and any shots made beforehand are not scored. Yet another anecdote goes back to old terminology referring to a "mull," a small hill of grass or dirt used to tee the golf ball for easier striking prior to modern tees. When a bad shot was played, the player told his caddy "I'll have a mull-again" to play another shot. According to the USGA, the term first achieved widespread use in the 1940s.

Simmering on the back burner for now as a lot want to wait until spring break when they plan on being back in the area. 3/17 or 18 (Sat or Sun) maybe. Thinking maybe at OSO Beach as it is in very good shape now (check the website) and won't be too expensive. Open to what ever the most want to do however.
