  A) While we're on the subject, does a drive take more life off a ball than a chip, for example?

  Or is it just 'one hit', etc.

  B) Also, It says "-2"..many people like the idea of putting the hits left number. Two hits off what number? You can understand my curiosity.

  I guess the answer to 'B' depends on 'A' somewhat. Not that I totally care either way, just a thought.

  ---------And without being told by WGT clear theft no matter how you slice it!!!!!!!!!

  Sometimes being a well informed consumer requires a bit of work

  It was pointed out that WGT does in fact disclose, in a couple of ways, that a mulligan costs 2 hits.

  One way WGT discloses that mulligans cost 2 hits is in the FAQ pages that were quoted in another post.

  The other way is right above the Hit display on the game client page after you click on Take Mulligan. (my added graphics)

  

  We are talking about a GIMME not a mulligan.

  I would also add that you do get an option to putt the shot but only for a few seconds then the GIMME is automatic.

  Any after? If not, WGT must be on the take again!

  Nope, the ball always changes before the putt, when your approach is the last hit on that ball. If it's your last 1, you'll take the putt with the starter one.

  I guess this proves my point.

  That's only in practice mode and also for low tiers. Never noticed a time limit on it though.

  There is a time limit when you play with someone else in practice mode.

  I've decided after reading this I will not take a gimme ever again.
