Bubble Soccer
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—7/15/2013—If you surfed your way into my column last week, you had an opportunity to learn about an interesting form of glass in a piece titled “Major Cool Factor Points for Prince Rupert’s Drop.”
This week, I’ve stumbled upon a novel form of soccer, Bubble Soccer. It looks a little goofy—but fun at the same time.
Bubble Soccer is perhaps the first sport where players can actually both see the ball and be the ball. (For non-fans, by the way, that’s a “Caddyshack” movie reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gQwY5Np4FA).
Click the video link below to check out this unusual bubble sport.
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: tim@safegdriver.com.)

Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
