Mulligans

I don't golf; twenty-four hours ago, I had no idea what Mulligans were. Apparently, in the game of golf among the very determined, an informal system of "do-overs" has been set up whereby one can purchase the privilege of setting right that last slice without losing a stroke. These "do-overs" are called Mulligans. Genius, I say!

This past week, over at the Ojibwa Golf and Bowl, the Chippewa Falls Area Chamber of Commerce had its golf outing, sponsored by Ojibwa Golf and Bowl and Lee Beverage of Wisconsin. For some reason, unprompted by anyone or anything I am aware of, the proceeds from the sale of "Mulligans" at that outing were routed to the Chippewa Falls Public Library. Just a few minutes ago, I was hand delivered a check for $406.00.

I am told this was the idea of Mr. Chuck Wagner, and for his generosity and for the generosity of all those noble souls involved, I extend my thanks to them on behalf of the Chippewa Falls Public Library and the Friends of the Chippewa Falls Public Library.
