Allowing a player to have another shot off the tee without penalty. Not something allowed in tournament play but some friendly games will determine a number of "mulligans" per round before the round begins. My guess is somebody, way back when, named Mulligan, liked to take another shot if he was dissatisfied with the first. Probably a high ranking land owner playing with his subordinates, so no one argued with him.

In CCGs, a mulligan rule lets you redraw your opening hand if it doesn't meet some preset criteria, such as "you do not draw at least 1 card of type X." Sometimes there is a penalty associated with the redraw. Shadowfist has no mulligan rule: on your first turn, you aren't generating any Power, so you can discard as many cards as you like, and then refill your hand as usual. There's your mulligan for you.
The custom of hitting a second ball—without penalty—on a hole, usually the first tee.
A second shot permitted without penalty. Usually only one is allowed per round and is limited to tee shots although the number can be agreed upon by players before the round begins.
Hitting a second ball after being dissatisfied with your first-without penalty. Just because you may be sneaking in a quick nine and there's no one around to see your first shot topped into a ditch. . .it still doesn't make pulling out another right. But no one's perfect.
