Man. Edgewood Tahoe is a beautiful golf course. Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.
So far my favorite holes at Edgewood are the 15th, which I made birdie on, and the 17th which is pictured here in this post (par).
I’ll have a full review of the course on the way and of the very nice Embassy Suites in Tahoe soon. Until then, enjoy this pic. I’ll be playing tomorrow and posting a ton of pictures soon.
HOG world tour heads to Edgewood Tahoe
Quick note from the runway. I’m heading to Tahoe to play Edgewood today and tomorrow.
More after the round.
Pinky Pain
Last couple of days the first joint in my right hand pinky has been hurting pretty bad. Even if I touch it lightly there’s pain. It is seriously inflamed. I don’t feel any bumps or lumps so I think (hope) it is just some tendonitis.
I’m starting a three day golf marathon today. Day one is here in town and the next two days are at a fam trip at Edgewood Tahoe. Time to hit the ibuprophen, gold bond and medical tape.
Kountry Boys Sausage lowers golf scores

Golf clubs with laser beams on them. Odd contraptions you hook to your arms, legs, feet, head. Glasses and contacts with special lenses which help you hit better golf shots. Computer programs, iPhone GPS tracking systems… I’ve seen everything known to man in golf. I’ve got a pile of golf inventions guaranteed to take strokes off my game in my living room just waiting to be reviewed on this site. Little did I know that the true way to play better golf doesn’t lie in gadgets and technology. It is sausage.
Golf and sausage?
I’m writing a review on sausage? I can’t believe it myself. What possesses a company to send a golf blog sausage for review is beyond even the deep, dark, twisted contents of my cranium. What’s next? Gourmet chocolate sauce? Oh, wait… never mind.
Kountry Boys Sausage
Well I’m doing it. I’m writing about sausage. I got some boxes the other day and inside were dozens of samples of Kountry Boys Sausage in many flavors. I couldn’t help laughing. I received two types of sausage. The first was more of a dried “jerky” type like a Slim Jim. The 2nd was a more moist and thicker kind for cooking on the BBQ or putting in pasta or many other applications. I threw the jerky sticks in my golf bag and forgot about them.
On the course
I always do an “on the course” section in my golf equipment reviews so here goes.
Last week I’m playing with my buddies when I ran across the sausage sticks in my golf bag. I was cruising along at three over par, playing some middle of the road uninspired golf. On the 6th tee I busted the sausage out and introduced Kountry Boys to myself and my pals.
Man this stuff is tasty! I hit a huge drive down this par four while practically still chewing on a bite, slight draw, lots of roll. My pals and I laughed. “Haha. Nice drive. You’ll have to hit all your shots while eating sausage.” That’s just what I did on that hole.
I hit a gap wedge to the green while chomping. The shot never left the flagstick and finished about eight feet below the hole. When it was my turn to putt, I took another bite. I lined up the putt and poured it in for birdie. No doubt.
I shot -2 the rest of the round, post sausage. Proof positive that Kountry Boys Sausage lowers my golf scores.
I’ve since cooked up the bigger sausages on the barbie and enjoyed every last bite. I chopped some up and made a nice spicy pasta too. Man this stuff is good.
Conclusion
Whether you are a golfer or not, Kountry Boys Sausage is super tasty and there are many flavors and styles to choose from. If you do golf, your game will certainly improve while eating KBS.
BallBrite Golf Ball Cleaner

I’ve said here many times there’s nothing better than having clean balls. Clean balls inspire confidence, increase performance and can lead to better scores. BallBrite is a ball cleaning pouch which hangs from your golf bag or your belt loop, which does a great job insuring just that.
How it works
You wet the inside of the pouch and slide your golf ball inside. Once inside you can rub the outside of the pouch, working the ball around inside. The ball comes out clean, leaving the dirt and grass inside the pouch. The pouch is waterproof so it doesn’t leak onto your clothes. When you get home, you can wash the pouch with your laundry.
On the course
Rather than spitting on my ball and rubbing the grass and dirt with my hands, increasing bacteria and dirtying my hands, I use the BallBrite.
I’m not big on carrying a large golf towel to the green. And I’m not big on having items attached to my waist when I’m playing. So I’ll hook my BallBrite with the attached loop to my putter cover, which has a hole for attaching small towels. That way I have the unit with me on or near the green.
I love putting with a perfectly clean and shiny ball and I often wonder how my performance on full shots can be effected if the ball has dirt or grass debris on the surface. The BallBrite cleans the ball very well and assures me of top performance. Being waterproof, the unit allows me to have clean hands and clean clothes.
Conclusion
The BallBrite is a nice accessory which is simple, effective and well made. The unit will last a long time and provide many years of clean balls. For less than $20 I can be sure my balls are rolling and flying true. That $20 can be made up quickly in prize money and bets!
