The Mulligan by Daniel C. Lorti has launched!

How many times have you thought, If I could do it again, things would be different? Suppose someone gave you the opportunity and you did it. Then, years later, you had the same thought… and the same opportunity…

Michael Callahan is an aged public golf course instructor down on his luck with a history of missteps and wasted opportunities. He encounters an old woman in a bar who asks, “If you could do it again and retain your memories, would you?” The moment he accepts, he finds himself back in his sophomore year of college, attempting to alter the course of his life. The now-calculated decisions will place him on an altogether different path with unexpected choices. He establishes a new and rather successful career, creates friendships, and acquires a family. In his later years, an unforeseen circumstance results in the loss of his savings, livelihood, and prospects. Callahan finds himself in a bleak situation and encounters the old woman. Once again, the question is posed. This time the response is not so obvious and his decision will depend on whether it was his life or the man that changed.
