Fun with Twitter: It’s official — Brian Ries sucks at bolf
March 31st, 2009 by Cooper Levey-Baker in Editor's Desk, News, Sarasota-Manatee, Sports
The above tweet comes from Tampa Associate Editor Joe Bardi, recording results of the first ever Creative Loafing Tampa bolf match, with pathetic results from Sarasota’s own Brian Ries. Mind you: This was the first time Brian’s competitors had ever played the game.

Seeing as the game was pioneered on the Suncoast, we expected a little more out of Brian.
But from what he says, you are the Bolf fuckin’ master, Mr. Levey-Baker. Snider has a poster of you with your face X’d out hanging over his desk. Make no mistake: We’re coming for you!
Now, we just need to invent an “official business” reason to come down there and clean your clock on your home course. I hear the alleys of the Rosemary District form some challenging fairways. I haven’t played there since the earliest days of Bolf, when a man named Linsky soldiered on with little more than a Wilson and a dream.
I look forward to the challenge.

Did Brian share with you our plans to create the Globo Bolf Initiative? Essentially, GBI will be a four-person committee responsible for ruling on all bolf controversies. You, Max, myself and Brian will be the original brain trust, and we’ll definitely need to draft some by-laws. (For example, did you guys play with the still unofficial add-one-stroke-if-you-nail-a-car rule?)
