breakfast ball – Mulligan or Breakfast ball. This is the practice of getting a “free hit” or “free swing”, which is also referred to as a “breakfast ball” when used during early morning rounds. It is against the rules and draws a penalty if used in competitive play.
I golf, a lot. I’ve played at a handful of courses, and have shot scores ranging from 130-83. Golf, although cliche, is a passion of mine. Although I would describe it as a love-hate relationship. Depending on the day, I can love golf, but catch me on the tee box after a triple bogey, and you would think I am the most miserable person on the course. The best representation of my attitude on a course is best described in this YouTube video by Dude Perfect. Scroll to 1:53 for an accurate representation of myself.
I didn’t play my first round until I was 15, something I regret not starting earlier, but in retrospect, I got in the game early. I find that many people don’t pick up a set of clubs until they are in their late 20’s. I should be years ahead of my local competitors in years to come. My favorite part of golfing is probably driving the cart, followed by lunch afterward with friends. Playing the actual game is fun too.

I have a few more interchangeable hybrids and woods, but they are nothing worth sharing. This blog will consist of course reviews, tips and tricks on how to play, personal experiences, club reviews, and much more. I am also currently enrolled in KINES 29B. A class dedicated to playing golf at the Penn State Blue and White courses every Thursday. To say I am excited for that would be an understatement.
The last thing I will say about the breakfast ball is a preview of next week’s first entry. A review of my hometown courses, and what I think of them. We will look at the price, value, difficulty, and even accessibility. My hometown is Altoona, PA, so if you are a golfer and any of the courses interest you, feel free to reach out to me and we can play anytime when the weather breaks. Until then, have a good one.
