mul·li·gan
muh l gn
noun
in golf, another drive off the first tee, granted by one's partners after a poor first drive.
姓氏,源自盖尔语 Maolagan,古爱尔兰语 Maelecan,是 mael “秃头”的双重减小词,因此意为“小秃头(或剃光头)”,通常指修道士或门徒。作为“用任何可用的食材制成的炖菜”(1904年)是流浪汉俚语,可能来自适当的名字。高尔夫球“在糟糕的击球后的额外一杆”(1949年)有时被认为来自20世纪20年代加拿大高尔夫球手的名字,他的朋友们因为他把他们开车穿越蒙特利尔附近的 St. Lambert 乡村俱乐部的崎岖道路而给了他一个额外的杆。

probably from the name Mulligan Note: Probably the individual most widely credited as the eponymous initiator of mulligan is David B. Mulligan (1869-1954), a Canadian hotelier and amateur golfer. The coinage is alleged to have taken place while Mulligan was playing at either the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, in the 1930's or at the Country Club of Montreal in Saint-Lambert, Quebec, in the 1920's; for reasons varying according to the account, Mulligan gave himself, or was given, an extra chance when a group began play, which he dubbed a "mulligan." According to another story the source was John A. "Buddy" Mulligan, an attendant at the Essex Fells Country Club in New Jersey in the 1930's, who, when he was called away from his duties to make up a golf foursome, was given an extra chance at the first tee to make up for his lack of practice. Origin in the mid-1930's is not possible, however, as a citation of the word has turned up from the Detroit Free Press, October 13, 1931 (p. 16): "All were waiting to see what Byrd would do on the 290-yard 18th, with a creek in front of the well-elevated green. His first drive barely missed carrying the creek, and he was given a 'mulligan' just for fun." The author of the piece did not feel compelled to explain mulligan, implying that the word had already been in circulation for a while. The "Byrd" in the quote is Sammy Byrd, a major-league baseball player who was also a serious golfer. His involvement has led the blogger Peter Jensen Brown to speculate that mulligan may have a baseball connection. Swat Mulligan (originally Milligan) was a fictional ballplayer introduced in the New York Evening World about 1908 as a paragon of hitting power; his name became a byword for a powerful hitter ("[Woody Platt], a newcomer to tournament golf, failed to get his strokes working in good shape against the long hitting Herron, who is a real Swat Mulligan of the links."— The Evening World, August 22, 1919, p. 2). Brown also cites a peculiar use of mulligan, apparently not attested elsewhere, in the context of cricket: "If it is a bad ball, 'off the wicket,' he may take a 'mulligan' at it and knock it over the fence, 'out of bounds' they call it." (Colorado Springs Gazette, April 19, 1919, p. 12). Given the semantic distance between mulligan as an exemplification of strength and as a free shot in golf, a link between the two seems tenuous. For a detailed discussion with full references to sources see Peter Jensen Brown's "Hey Mulligan Man! - a Second Shot at the History of Taking a 'Mulligan'" at his Early Sports and Pop Culture History Blog, May 8, 2017.
