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

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.

AHEAD X-Cap Holds More Than Just Your Head

When your eyewear costs over $100, few things are worse than watching your glasses hit the ground because you bent over, leaned forward, or the miserable wind blew your cap clean off your head. Thankfully, the clever people over at AHEAD USA have a solution.
The company’s new X-Cap features a patented retractor cord that [...]

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

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

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

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 [...]

Exchange BC/DR Part 2: Installing Teneros in the Production Environment

I mean no disrespect to the guys over at Information Week, InfoWorld, and Windows & .Net Magazine, who do an outstanding job with product reviews, it’s just that most of those reviews usually contain a sentence that starts with “We tested <insert product name> in our lab and…” That’s all well and good, [...]

Energy Grips making inroads on the PGA Tour

While I’m not one to make a fuss over what guys on the PGA tour are doing (for most of us, the pro game bears very little resemblance to the one we play), I must admit that anytime a company you probably haven’t heard of can put their gear into the bags of the world’s [...]

Exchange BC/DR Part 1: Choosing an Email Continuity Solution

These days few phrases are hotter in the technology industry than “Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery”, or “BC/DR” for those of you who love a good buzz word. While BC/DR is nothing new, disasters such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina have highlighted the fact that almost anything can, and given enough time; will happen. Whatever it may be, widespread power outages, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, or terrorism, if your business doesn’t have a BC/DR plan, your business doesn’t have a prayer.

WhatTheDeuce’s 2008 Dream Bag

Better than two full weeks after we started, it’s finally time to wind down the 2008 gear guide. Keep in mind my 2008 dream bag is pure fantasy. As of yet, I have no plans to purchase any of what I’m about to list. In most cases, I haven’t even tried the clubs out (check [...]

Filling My Bag: The Best of the Rest

As we wind down the 2008 Gear Guide, I’ll admit that I would have liked to cover a bit more. With apologies to major players like Srixon, Bridgestone, Yonex, and others, it’s time to move on. The same can be said for outstanding putter manufacturers Yes, Rife, and Divix, who also deserve more attention than [...]

Filling My Bag: Nickent

The Nickent name may not be as well known to most as say Titleist, TaylorMade, or Callaway, but those familiar with the brand can tell you they make products that performs at a high level, with a price tag that’s often less than the more familiar names.
Nickent hybrids are the most played utility club on [...]

Taking a few hacks with Nike’s 2008 SUMO Lineup

Saturday provided most consumers with their first opportunity to try out Nike’s 2008 SUMO series golf clubs. While no Nike rep was on hand (I suspect he was down the road at Golf Galaxy), my local proshop had plenty of new drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids for me (and everyone else to try).
While [...]

Filling My Bag: Scratch Golf

Originally I was going to throw in a quick little blurb about Scratch Golf in my upcoming “Best of the Rest” post, but after reading up on what the guys at Scratch Golf were doing (not only for tour pros, but for the average golfer), I began to realize that Scratch Golf is not your [...]

Choosing My Bag: OGIO

I feel a little bit guilty calling OGIO a golf bag company. They also make duffles, backpacks, messenger bags, luggage, and assortment of other items that help you carry your stuff from point A to point B. There’s no denying, however; Utah’s little-duffle-bag-company-that-could has matured into the big-time-more-than-just-a-golf-company-that-does produce the largest and most [...]
