NiceBallz - Play Ballzy

Just follow these simple steps to golf bloggging greatness.  No need to thank us.  Really. 1. Criticize EVERYTHING: Pretty straightforward. Find nothing good in anything. Or, if you must find something good (e.g. Annika has a baby!) make sure to balance it with something highly critical (e.g. Wow, thanks for putting...

…I’m like, “Dude, what up!?” …and he’s all “Waaaaannhhhh! Liberty National is ‘interesting‘ and the FedEx Cup is ‘interesting’ too! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnh! And it’s really f*cking interesting that someone like Heath Slocum could win the FedEx Cup!  And you know what else is interesting?  How awesome I am for even playing in...
