National Mulligan Day- October 17, 2024 | National Day Calendar
National Mulligan Day is observed annually on October 17 to offer an opportunity for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over.”
#NationalMulliganDay
In golf, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a specific move or action.
According to the United States Golf Association (USGA), three different stories explain the origin of the term. The first derives from the name of a Canadian golfer, David Mulligan, a one-time manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, who played golf in the 1920s. A different, later, etymology gives credit to John A. “Buddy” Mulligan, a locker room attendant at Essex Fells C.C., New Jersey, in the 1930s. Another story, according to author Henry Beard, states that the term comes from Thomas Mulligan, a minor Anglo-Irish aristocrat and a passionate golfer who was born in 1793.
According to the United States Golf Association (USGA), the term first achieved widespread use in the 1940s.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY
We can all think of something that at one point in time, we have said, “I wish I could do that over.” Celebrate the day by taking your do-over. Also, be considerate and offer a Mulligan to a few friends and neighbors out there. Some days we all deserve it. Use #NationalMulliganDay to post on social media.
