Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Quicksilver announced in early July it had signed local icon Mulligan Man, who stands, driver in hand, overlooking the 405 freeway at the 18-hole Dominguez Golf Course in Carson. Mulligan Man was fitted for the summer with a fresh pair of Dane Reynolds' signature striped board shorts.
Word is Mullligan Man - or "The Guy" as he's known around the popular golf course - is back to his regular outfit of slacks, baseball cap, blue polo shirt and that mysterious smile.
It should be noted that Mulligan Man, who stands 20 feet tall and is made of fiberglass, wasn't always so iconic. He once was relegated to the course's driving range, where he served as a target for practicing golfers.
Here was Quicksilver's announcement in July of the historic signing:
Quiksilver is proud to announce their newest team rider, The Mulligan Man. Straight out of Carson, California, The Mulligan Man is widely known and one of the most visible personalities in Southern California. After years of mutual respect, the decision to bring The Mulligan Man on the team was a no brainer. The only challenge, getting the right boardshorts to keep him going all summer. The Mulligan Man wisely chose Dane's Cypher Brigg Board Short and we made it happen. Look for The Mulligan Man off the 405 in Southern California, throw him a shaka, and help us welcome him to Quiksilver.
Welcome to the team Mulligan Man
