Mulligans & Gimmes

penalty. While not sanctioned by the United States
Golf Association, Mulligans are commonly allowed
in friendly play and can be allowed, disallowed, or
capped at your discretion in Links 2003.
Gimme—A putt the golfer assumes will be made, so
the ball is picked up and one stroke is added to the
score. Gimmes are of cially allowed only in certain
modes of play, such as Match, but can be allowed in
any mode of play in Links 2003. You may also specify
how close a ball must be to the hole to qualify as
a Gimme.
To select Mulligan or Gimme options

2. In the New Round screen, under Rules, click the
appropriate drop-down list.

feet, or 4 feet).
