No Alibis

No Alibis:

No Alibis is a golf competition format, played as Stroke Play in which instead of using Handicap Index in the normal fashion, mulligans can be used from any point on the course. The player’s Course Handicap is converted into free strokes that are used during a round. The game can be played with full handicaps, 3/4 or 2/3 of the Course Handicaps. Everyone then plays off scratch and the lowest score wins. Usually there are additional conditions:

• the first tee shot may not be replayed,
• the second shot must be used when replaying (player can’t decide to play his first ball) and
• no shot can be replayed twice.
