GreenFix Wizard: A Ballmark Repair Tool for the Masses

GreenFix Wizard: A Ballmark Repair Tool for the Masses

While reading through golf news as I do every week, I came across a very simple tool that can make golf more enjoyable for everyone. Quite frankly, I’m a little embarrassed that I hadn’t heard about it sooner.
Not much, if anything, on a golf course gets on my nerves more than other so-called golfers [...]

Snacking on BK’s Ketchup & Fries Chips

Snacking on BK’s Ketchup & Fries Chips

Technically they’re called “Ketchup and Fries Flavored Potato Snacks”, but a chip is after all, a chip, so that’s what I’m going with. I’m guessing most of you have never seen this particular snack food in you local store. In fact, I wouldn’t have even noticed them myself if WhatTheDeuce contributor, Anthony Siano, [...]

K-Cup Challenge Update

Just an update on last week’s mention of a Keurig K-Cup Challenge.  The tasting is underway.  I believe reviews will be fairly short (how much can one really write about a cup of coffee?).  I’m working on developing a consistent format such that all of the reviews will, at least loosely, follow the same line.  [...]

uPro Set To Make Your GPS Golf Rangefinder Obsolete

Billed as “Superior Technology, Advanced Features, Optimum Usability”, the so new it’s not even available yet, uPRO GPS Rangefinder from uPLAY, is poised to kick your current rangefinder’s butt back to the stone age.

What is it about the uPRO that’s going to make you want bury your current unit in the nearest bunker, and tell your wife you need a new one because some hoodlum absconded with yours while you were scarfing down a frankfurter at the turn? In a word, EVERYTHING.

The company’s new X-Cap features a patented retractor cord that [...]

The Great Milk Showdown

The Great Milk Showdown

As a lifelong connoisseur of whole milk, who literally drank gallons a week from the time I could walk until I graduated college, I decided it was long past time I sat down to figure out if there really is a difference between regular whole milk, and the organic variety that costs over $3 per 1/2 gallon. While I was at it I figured I’d see if Hood Simply Smart 1% really has the taste of whole milk.

iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robot

iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robot

How long have you looked at one of these stupid things and wondered if it’s even remotely worth the price tag. Cool factor aside, is this thing any good at all at what it claims? Even more puzzling, what does it actually claim do? What it actually does depends on a few things, not the [...]

DIRECTV Satellite Television

DIRECTV Satellite Television

There are few things I use absolutely every day. Basically it’s my car, my cell phone, my notebook computer and of course my TV. You have to be happy with your everyday items. There is no doubt about that. You can overspend on a portable DVD player you only take on trips that doesn’t do [...]

Coming Soon: The K-Cup Challenge

Over the next several weeks I will be reviewing all of K-Cup varieties we have in my office. If you read my review of the Keurig B140 you already know that there are a multitude of flavors to choose from. Some I really like, some…well…not so much.
The new series will give me an [...]

Taking a Spin with the Check-Go Pro

Taking a Spin with the Check-Go Pro

Most golfers by now have heard of, if not seen a Check-Go, or Check-Go Pro golf ball “Sweet Spot Finder”. While I’ll admit to being more than a little skeptical about it’s ability to lower my scores, I figured for $30, why not take a shot. If nothing else, it will give me [...]
