It just dawned on me that I was supposed to be writing tonight's Open Thread. AGAIN! WOOPS! Fuck me in the goat ass. I swear one of these weeks I'll remember and prepare. Things to discuss: I played golf in the rain AGAIN on Thursday. I didn't do as well as the last time.

As you may have noticed, I have been lax in publishing new episodes of Balls Magazine. That's not to say that I haven't been playing golf. I have. I've just been playing really shitty golf. To wit, here are my results from my last three rounds: 107 at Santa Anita Golf
