Where the golf term “WHINER” comes from…

“Criers and Whiners” is a game of do-overs or mulligans that can be used from any point on the course. In Criers and Whiners, handicaps are converted into free shots that are used during a round.

Say a player has a handicap of 14.  Rather than applying the handicap in the proper manner, the player is instead given 14 free shots to use at any point on the course, at any time.  Hit a bad shot off the second tee?  Hit it again.  Now you’ve got 13 left.

The game can be played with full handicaps (as in the example above) but it most common to use only three-fourths or two-thirds of handicaps. That forces the player to be judicious in using his replay strokes.  Two other conditions usually apply:  The first tee shot of the day may not be replayed, and no shot can be replayed twice.
