NiceBallz - Play Ballzy

Mystery solved. “Cigar Guy” is one Rupesh Shingadia, a 30-year-old Londoner, this according to some kick-ass thorough journalism by The Daily Mail in the UK. There was talk that perhaps Cigar Guy was Sacha Baron Cohen of “Borat” and “Bruno” fame but that seemed like a theory more likely floated by...

“It ain’t braggin if you can back it up.” – Dizzy Dean Upon emerging from my Ryder Cup hangover what is the first email I received in the NiceBallz mailbox?  Something from Oakley going on about how Ian Poulter really delivered  in The Ryder Cup, and would I be interested in posting a video...

Are you constantly going? Owen Wilson is apparently.  Thanks to The Superficial for the, ahem, candid shot of his poor on course behavior.  And more importantly thanks for the (teeny) black box! But what DO you do when you have to go numero uno on the course?  We’ve compiled a...

…you gotta be tough.  Just ask Dustin Johnson after all…he (moronically) grounded his club in a tire track bunker and the rest has been fodder for the Internets during the past three days. We say though Dustin, good for you…that sort of mindless ‘just hit it’ play put you into...

Dear Rich Schultz, FU. No…really.  Thanks to the Deadspin story about you, I now can revel not only in the (ongoing) knowledge that I have yet to record an ace, but that an unbelievably greedy bastard such as yourself has two.  Oh…and two in ONE FREAKING ROUND no less. Oh...

Ahhh Twitter, how do we love thee? You’ve taken fans inside the ropes of golf more than ever before. Yet, what if we’d had Twitter through the ages?  What may our golfing forefathers had shared?  Behold, what Twitter could hath wrought: Old Tom Morris: “Kids today, all about ye old bomb and gouge. Young Tommy sailed...

I was stunned to see this post at Waggle Room today. Vince Spence, better known perhaps to those in the golf blogging community as The One-Eyed Golfer, has passed away. When Corey and I first entered into the golf blog world around a year ago Vince was one of the first...

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? The No. 1 ranked player on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour recently announced her retirement and it barely registered. No extensive coverage on ESPN, no screaming headlines in USA Today. There...

Roughly a year ago NiceBallz was born. And the Lord said, “…these Ballz are good…” and he held them up high. It’s been a fun year.  Corey and I have learned a great deal about our own interests, skills (and sometimes a lack thereof) in writing, humor and golf.  But more...
