Its fine, but if your mulligan goes in its not an ace.
I don't like playing with mulligans. If anything I may take a 2nd drive on a casual hole but always use the first.
The trouble with mulligans is that you never really get a good idea of how much (or how little) you're improving over time.
(The more mulligans you take, the more this holds true.)

We always play one or two a round.
There is also a rule that if your drive doesn't pass the lady's tee, you have to take your next shot with your pants around your ankles (this is a carry-over rule from ball golf).

Damn, I am glad I never flubbed my shot while I was playing a round with you.
I think I explained this once before, but my friends in NY had a system called Triads, basically 3 limited mulligans.
New people were allowed 3 do overs, but you could use only one per hole. In the begining you can do 3 of any one of these or mix them (ex. 2 hit baskets 1 redrive):
1) if your disc hits the basket you may count it as in.
2) if you have a crappy drive you may re-throw
3) 1 redo of any OB / water hazard.
After a while (say once they are shooting with in 15-20 of your score for 18) they get only one of each for 18.
Then ween them off so they can play the real rules.
The triads usually don't improve your score more than 5 strokes, but it takes pressure off of the new player, also the new players don't get as penalized by mistakes/ bad shots, so their is less frustration. (just explain that this is a handicapping system, not the rules of Disc Golf)
people who post scores do not use mulligans
No wonder posted scores on this site are so low. I never use a mulligan. Never will.
