Lucas Starbuck Ever get your best ideas while you're at the driving range? I would love to think that I do.. but realistically it's more likely when I'm peeing. How does everybody here switch off and focus on their swing when it matters?

Mark W. I just read this article ( http://www.bnet.com/article/business-and-golf-blunders-too-stupid-to-bel... ) on the mix of business and golf. Some of the stories are hilarious. Basically the message of the article is to turn off your cell phone, enjoy the game, and establish a relationship with whom you're playing.

TOP IDEA: blake hall During league on Monday I got a hole in one! It was on the 134 yard 16th hole, using a PW. Anyone else have a hole in one?

Paul Horan: No holes-in-one, but I did card a double-eagle once. Sank my second shot on a par-5, from about 258 yards away with a 3 wood...

blake hall Golf league is finally getting into swing, and I've got two tournaments coming up over the next month. I'm much more consistent this year, but really struggling to score well (especially < 100 yds and in). How's everyone's game doing?

Ryan Adverderada played a round the other day for the first time in a few months. drives were only straight if I only went half-way, and my long irons were all over the place. at least the putting was good. if it weren't for the putting my 90 would have been a 100+!

Maybe a putting contest before the tournament to get players warmed up? One thing I don't like is purchasable mulligans. It's cheating to me...

Closest to pin, longest drive, longest putt... Add things like the option to purchase mulligans for $10 each, max of 2 per round and hole-in-one chances, and you can raise some serious cash.

Jason K Played 9 last week and this week. Continue to struggle in hitting it a little thin. My stance is correct (I think) but something is a little off in my backswing. Amazing how much succes depends on such tiny details in something seemingly unrelated. Back to the driving range for me!

He just has to get adjusted to life without a squeeky clean image and accept being human, and his fans will accept that also. Some of the greatest folk heroes are ones who messed up and bounced back once they got back.

Just looks at Robert Downey, Jr. His career as an actor has never been more vibrant. Tiger has done some pretty heinous things, but I still respect him as a pro athlete and hope he can change his life and eventually bounce back.

Josh Thomas: The reason he's a role model is because he wins. If tempering his competitive spirit hurts his game, I think I'd be mad we changed it
