There can be only one Stymie in play at a time. So if you get a double bogey or worse while Stymied, you can’t pass the Stymie along to somebody else.

For those who would like to try the game, there is a Web site (www.playmulligan.com) that has more information about the game and how to purchase it. But there’s also an online version where it is possible to play rounds against computer-controlled golfers.

“We have about 300 to 400 online players,” said Steingreaber. “We use it to entice people to try the game out.”

But right now the percentage has been low in regard to the number of players who buy the product after trying it online.

“We’ve had about 25 percent buy it after being an online player,” said Steingreaber. “We’re finding that people who play games online aren’t always the kind who will buy a board game and sit down with a group of friends and play.”

But the people who try the tabletop version buy at a much higher rate.

“We have nine out of 10 people who try the game that way, buy it,” said Steingreaber. “All reactions to the game have been very positive. People really like to play in foursomes.”

Steingreaber’s lowest round has been a 65, but she has seen a dice player record a score as low as 62. The top score by an online player is 58.

“Kirk spent a lot of time getting the math right,” said Kelly Steingreaber. “We really have the game set up to have a U.S. Open type scores. An average score is 73.1.”

Many people have collected large numbers of players and played tournaments. Virtually any golf games that can be played on the course can be played with Mulligan Dice Golf.

The game sells for $24.99 and each game includes an embossed leather dice cup with secure lid, six custom dice, 24 shot mulligan chips (six chips for up to four players), stymie block, rule book, scorecards and pencil.

The game can be played with a scorecard from any golf course.
