What is Mulligulp?
Mulligulp is a drinking game of precision and skill based loosely on the game play of Golf.
Mulligulpers make Attempts at Scoring Windows and try to avoid Bogie, 2x Bogie and 3x Bogie zones along the Fairway and Putting Green.
An Attempt is defined as a Gulp. A Gulp starts when the Mulligulper puts the glass to their lips and ends when they check the beverage level in the glass.
Mulligulpers do not count the number of sips or swallows made during a Gulp.
Rules
Mulligulp is a turn based multiplayer game played in rounds. A round is the completion of 3 Fairways. Players, or Mulligulpers, start from the Par 3 fairway and progress through the course by rotating their glass to the left. Mulligulpers take turns on each Fairway, moving to the next Fairway once they’ve marked their score. Mulligulpers do not move onto the next Fairway until all players have completed the Fairway in play.
Set up /Tee up
Fill your beverage of choice to the center of the “tee box” of your choice. Blue for the pros and White for the amateurs. The tee box you choose at the beginning of the game will be the tee box you use for the duration of the round.
Fairway play
Take your first Gulp and aim to settle the liquid beverage level inside the Par Window. You have two attempts to make it to Par.
Official Par Window checks are done by setting the beverage on a level surface.
If you succeed in leveling out in the Par Window you have two options;
- Mark your Par on the Scorecard. Move on to the next Fairway, refill your beverage to the center of your chosen tee box and wait your turn to Gulp
- Aim for the Putting Green and try to better your score. You may only move on to the Putting Green if you make it to par in one Gulp. If you take two attempts your score is determined by the level at which your beverage settles after your second Gulp. You may not attempt to better your score on the putting green if you miss the Par Window on your second gulp unless you decide to take your Mulligulp on your third attempt.
- Take your Mulligulp: A Mulligulp is a free shot from anywhere on the glass to any scoring window on the fairway or on the Putting Green. Mulligulpers only receive one Mulligulp per round. You may not take your Mulligulp when going for a Hole In One.
Your score is determined by the level at which your beverage settles
Putting
Congratulations you’ve made Par and will now attempt to better your score!
Aim to level your beverage in either the Birdie Window or the Eagle Window but watch out for the Bogie Zones!
If your drink lands above the red line but not in either of the windows you score a Par!
If your drink lands below the red line and not in the Eagle Window you score a 3x Bogie!!
Go for the Gilmore / “Hole in One”
At the bottom of the Par 5 Fairway is a Hole In One Window. This window is only in play from the tee box. Before taking aim at the Hole In One Window, the Mulligulper must proclaim that they are “Going for the Gilmore.”
If the Mulligulper succeeds in landing their drink inside the Hole In One Window this player marks the Hole In One on the Bonus section of the scorecard, all opponents must finish their beverage and add a Bogie to their scorecard.
If the Mulligulper fails to land their drink in the Hole in One Window this player marks a 3x Bogie on the scorecard and all opponents mark a Birdie.
Scoring
Scores are determined by the defined sections of the glass and whether the liquid level of beverage falls within these sections or within the Scoring Windows.
Mulligulpers mark their scores on the scorecard or in the Mulligulp app and tally the total score at the end of the round. The Mulligulper with the lowest score at the end of the round wins. Reminder, Mulligulp is not scored by the number of Gulps you take!
