Let's start over......
The guys I usually play with like to hit two off number one if you need it. Then no mulligans. Play the ball down, never improve the lie. If it is wet and muddy, pick, clean and place. In the fall when there are so many leaves on the fairway, sometimes, you just can not find the ball. We have a rule called the leaf rule. If the group agrees the ball should be in an certain area, but it can not be found due to the leaves, you get a free drop.
If you roll the ball, improve the lie or don't count all the strokes, you are not playing golf. You just fool yourself into thinking you are better than you really are.

I only take mulligans off a driver tee shot, well that was before I changed my swing. I used to slice it bad, lost a lot of ***** right. Now it goes straight off the tee, I figured out the new driver and I am not having to aim left to keep the ball in play with the slice. I was having a hard time, hitting the ball left a lot today, which is not normal for me. I'm usually way right. One tee shot I hit was literally 2" above the ground and went over 250 yards on the fly easy off a miss hit. I think some worms were mortally wounded when it started rolling.
