I'd like to give away a free Scorecard license each week. If you can come up with a better way to do it than my idea, you'll win the first one (and we'll use your idea to give away the licenses).

My idea is to either give one to the "Forum Topic of the Week" thread starter OR to the best question or comment we receive at podcast@thesandtrap.com or on our podcast posts (like this one ).

Mix it up, use several different ways to win, alternate weekly..best topic one week, best question on podcast next week, best comment on forum, sand trap fantasy league winner one week(or sectional winners, overall winner, you get the idea),it will keep your options open and give you room to think up new ones or improve upon others. Just announce it the week prior, make a sticky(or whatever the hell you young whipper-snappers call them).

Anything else is off-topic.

As I said,

The First One To Refer a certain ammount of friends to the forum can win the first one. Maybe mix it up a little and make a different Idea the next time to win the second one.

I personally enjoy trivia. VERY difficult trivia. The first to respond with the correct answer wins. Very simple. The tough part is coming up with multi-part questions or a single question difficult enough that a simple google search doesn't give up the answer. I think this would be a much easier thing to do than make a judgement call on the "thread of the week". You may end up having people starting thread after thread just trying to come up with a great topic.

What about a picture scavenger hunt. List several items that needs to be taken a picture with yourself in the picture or some other way to verify that the pics were not just ripped from the net.

BTW, I'm not commenting for about a week on any of the ideas posted here because I don't want to steer the ideas one way or the other. I'd like to see free-form ideas without any perceived "guidance" from me.

So just because I don't respond doesn't mean I like (or dislike) the idea.

how about a "One pic, one shot" poll. Say one day a week (let's just choose monday for ease), Monday all pics will have to be turned in (one pic per member per week). A poll can then be set up with all pictures and have the forum members vote. The one with the most votes by Saturday wins the license. Pictures would have to be golf related and once a member wins, they can no longer submit pictures.

Here's an idea that I had, let me know what you think.

Being that Erik, you are the admin of the sight, you tend to have a pretty good wealth of knowledge on all things golf related. People usually tend to listen to your recommendations/advice/reviews/etc. This idea would require a little (not much, but a little) more work on your part, but.....reading and replying to posts is already something that you do on a regular basis, so not much more "work" really.

Create a new forum under The Clubhouse called "Ask Iacas" and this will be where people go to ask anything that may be on their mind that they think you would have the answer too. I see questions directed to you all of the time under equipment reviews and such that are unrelated to the actual review itself, asking opinions on other lines of clubs, balls, and so on. From the Ask Iacas forum the best question each day/week can be entered in for a chance at the free weekly license. Don't have any limitations, other than being golf related, if even that. It might allow people some insight into the mind of the guy behind the site.

It might be fun too.
