Remember how I won my very first golf tournament and broke 100 on the same day? Well, I just finished my second tournament and let's just say there was no repeat. Not only that, I scored the worst I have scored in a VERY long time: 122! Let's start at the beginning. It

Your friendly Puerto Rican good life enthusiast is not able to take care of tonight's Open Thread as he has some pressing business to attend to. (read: hot date with spicy Latina). By the way, the term Spicy Latina is redundant. Tonight, we have what is affectionately called around LA as

I must have been five years old when my father took our family to see “Silent Movie” in the theatRe. I got into it immediately. Everything was self-explanatory, one gag after the other, very little dialogue: great for a kid with basic reading skills and knowing almost no English. Then

As you may or may not know, the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area gamely braved a Blizzard of epic proportions. I got mine with Crushed Oreos. As much as it was hyped, like most hyped things, it didn't really amount to everything it was hyped up to be. We got some

Dear Penthouse Forum: I never thought this would happen to me... As you may recall from Volume 8, I decided to go ahead and play 18 holes in order to establish a handicap ahead of my very first tourney. Well, the tourney just happened and guess what? I fucking won. Not only

Given the feedback I received from you in Volume 7, I decided to go ahead and play 18 holes in order to establish a handicap ahead of my very first tourney. I am in a situation at work where I have excess vacation time and if I don't use it, I

As you may remember from Volume 6, I tried the TopTracer setup at the Alhambra Golf Course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I did not get enough shots on certain clubs to do a real good analysis for every club I use. So I went back. I am happy to report that

As you may remember from Volume 5, I wanted to try the TopTracer setup at the Alhambra Golf Course. On a lazy Saturday, I decided to head back and try my luck. This time, the range was open and I was happy to see there were several bays available. When I

It was supposed to rain all day but the atmospheric river must have run dry as it was nice and sunny around noon. Feeling antsy and having planned nothing, I figured I'd go to the range and get some practice in. I had discovered that the Alhambra Golf Course had

On a whim, I decided to head to my local 9 Hole golf course to see if I could get on. It was a cloudy and cold day, so I figured not too many people would be out. I figured if I got on, cool, and, if not, I could

I was looking up tee times at one of my local courses for Thanksgiving Day when I found one for pretty cheap that included a cart. The only problem was that there were only 2 spots available. That means there were already two people playing at that same time. Very much like

It was 7 AM on a Sunday morning and I was headed to Palm Springs to play in a tournament. Tee time was at 10 and I wanted to get there early to properly warm up. The beautiful thing about driving east on a Sunday morning is that you can
