As you may have heard, I'm not a big Tiger Woods fan. To paraphrase The Bard, how much do I hate thee, let me count the ways! He's a dumbass with a shitty personality. He cheated on his beautiful blonde wife with skanks. The golf world covered up his bullshit because it desperately

In the hour plus I had left in the flight, I planned my strategy. She had checked her luggage, so I didn't have to worry about getting out of the plane quickly. I'd mosey on over to the Baggage Claim, pretend to wait for a bag, and then see where

Tonight's post category comes from my stomach. As a good American, fast food has comprised an unhealthy percentage of my diet since I was young. I have eaten at almost every fast food place you can think of and, over the course of the years, I have developed a list

Having a wet dream while 40,000 feet above sea level and going 550 miles per hour is difficult in the best of times, but the baby was not helping. It had, to that point, been a relatively easy and peaceful red-eye. I had gone to my All-Inclusive in Cancún and

Tonight's post category comes from our generous Italian friend, 2Pack. He suggested this category in last week's thread and I think it's a very good one. I have been very lucky to have been given some very good advice that has carried me through difficult patches in my life

As I think I may have mentioned in the past, I'm on a thing at work where I HAVE TO take vacation days each month due to a vacation cap. If I don't use them, I stop accumulating vacation time and I don't trust stupid HR people to remember to

Saturday Night Open Thread: My Top Five…. Obscure Archer Objects

ballsofsteelandfury - April 15, 2023April 14, 2023

I still watch Archer and I still enjoy the new episodes. Some (okay, many!) have said that the series has jumped the shark. Opinions differ on when exactly that happened. Some argue that it happened when they left New York. Some argue that it happened when Archer went into a

As you may or may not have noticed, there was no Balls Magazine last week. The reason for that is that I haven't had the time to get out onto the course or the driving range. That all changes today as my local golf club just had its third tourney of

Don T - April 2, 2023April 2, 2023

I make no apology for loving the Olympic Games. Yes, they can and have been used for propaganda and political purposes, but, at its core, the idea of all the countries of the world getting together to play games is awesome. I'm also a huge Greek mythology geek, so the fact

As you may or may not know, the West Coast has been hit with a lot of rain this winter. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for it and I want more to tell you the truth. We desperately need it. The only thing is that it interferes with playing golf.

I apologize for missing last week's Saturday Night post. It completely slipped my mind that I had volunteered to do the Saturday evening posts. I was even going to go into the back room and ask who was supposed to post. Turned out it was me. Tonight's post category comes from my
