Mulligans Monday at Royal Melbourne

Mulligans Monday at Royal Melbourne

Last night’s Mulligan Monday at Royal Melbourne brought the perfect mix of fun and frustration. Known as one of the most difficult courses we’ve played to date, this event tested everyone’s skills and strategy. The course setup and unique rules delivered a thrilling challenge, and the evening was filled with unforgettable moments.

The Rules: Simple Yet Strategic

While we kept the rules relatively straightforward, holes 12 and 13 threw a curveball with a “worst ball” format on some of the toughest terrain. Surviving these holes without too much damage was the key to keeping scores low. Teams that navigated these challenges well set themselves up for success in the latter half of the round.

Adding to the excitement, we introduced a new twist: “Roll the Dice.” After everyone teed off with their club of choice, a dice roll determined the club they had to use for their second shot (options ranged from pitching wedge to 5-iron). This rule added a fun, unpredictable element, forcing teams to adapt their strategy on the fly.

Each team was also given two Mulligans, with the chance to earn up to six additional Mulligans through a putting game. This mini-contest provided a great way to shake off early-round jitters and put those short-game skills to the test.

The Final Showdown: A Tight Race

The competition was fierce, but it all came down to the final hole. The Swingers emerged as champions, edging out the Bunker Buddies in dramatic fashion. With everything on the line, the Bunker Buddies needed a birdie on the last hole to seal the deal but fell just short.

What’s Next?

You spoke, and we listened! For the next Mulligan Monday, we’re dialing back the difficulty and taking it to the iconic Riviera Country Club. This course promises a more open layout and the chance for some seriously low scores.

To keep things fresh, we’re limiting the tournament to just two rules (to be announced soon). Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a first-timer, this is the perfect event to let loose, embrace the fun, and aim for your best round yet.

We can’t wait to see you all at Riviera next week. Bring your A-game, and let’s make it another memorable Mulligan Monday!
