Newer Ballz

Welcome to the new NiceBallz.
This blog was started as a fun diversion and hobby by a couple of guys who like golf but generally dislike golfers (irony!).
Kidding! We love golfers. Most of them…some…a handful at least that are (we’re pretty sure) representative of the golfing populace.
Anyhooo…here’s a little rundown on what this site is and isn’t in case you’re new here, or simply need a refresher.
NiceBallz is…
- A blog - which means if you’re spending time reading anything posted here (either by myself or my missing golf blog partner, or anyone else we give the keys to the NiceBallz Caddy to at times) we’re honored and appreciative. Seriously, we have been involved in the whole online world for a while and still can’t believe people read stuff we write (what? it happens.) just because.
- To be taken with a grain of salt – Meaning we sure as heck don’t take ourselves too seriously, try not to take anything in the game of golf too seriously and believe you shouldn’t either. If you get ticked off about something we write. Ok…that’s cool. Tell us why. Don’t expect us to fall all over ourselves apologizing, but we would love to hear what you think. That exchange is also what makes it fun…which leads us to…
NiceBallz isn’t…
- About sucking up - Meaning, we’re not using this as a platform to launch our burgeoning golf/sports journalist career. Frankly we’re probably too old and jaded to pull that off at this point anyway. The upside of this is you don’t have to worry about reading yet another blog by golfing sycophants, nor worry if we’re blogging about something because we’re looking to pad our income. So if you’re looking for that deep, insightful piece on Keegan Bradley’s new putter grip. Don’t come here. However, if you want to know why we think Keegan is ‘…wicked smaaaht and the new messiah for gawf and tha greata Bahstahn area slappy…’ then you should come back. But not to read about Keegan. We hate Red Sox fans.
- Just about golf - Ok 90+% of the content here has been and will remain about golf in one form or another. But don’t be shook up if we post about something else that tickles our fancy funny bone.
So that’s about it…oh and we’re going to be on this show on Saturday I guess. Sometime around 10:30am Pacific. I dunno, Golfwriterguy told me I have to show up and be amusing. I plan to punch him in his neck. Hilarity will ensue!
You’re basically a couple of lazy old gits who haven’t blogged for yonks! ;o)
I’m amazed that I didn’t unsubscribe last year. Go on then, amuse me, amuse me NOW!
Seriously. Wouldn’t have blamed you a bit. See Solheim post and our hilarious interpretation of a Norwegian accent re: amusement.
Perhaps because I am bad-tempered, intolerant and tetchy – but no quitter ;o)
