Walk into almost any modern home and in the living room is the centerpiece: a flat screen TV. Gone are the days of the CRT TVs or televisions with more wood paneling than actual screen. Now, you have LEDs, OLEDs and the brand new QLEDs to choose from; and believe me, a couple of letters make all the difference. For …
My mom always says that everybody needs to be a regular somewhere. The team behind hit concept HG Sply Co think the folks in Rockwall do, too. Standard Service, which opened last October, has become the go-to neighborhood joint that serves up a wide range of dishes without sacrificing the quality of the “fresh Texas cuisine.” Its aim is casual …
What happens when you get hit by a rental car? It Hertz. For those who aren’t used to traveling, the rental car experience each week can be very unpredictable. Sometimes getting your car is smooth and easy, and other times it’s like pulling teeth without Novocain. These days, with all of the memberships and reward programs, the transition time between …

Contemplate how upgrading your grooming …

There is that saying about parting, that it is filled with such sweet sorrow. That is exactly how we feel on the eve of the 35th and final playing of the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship at the famed and hallowed TPC Four Seasons Dallas at Las Colinas. While moving to Trinity Forest Golf Club in south Dallas for the 2018 …
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to meet many celebrities and sports figures. I’ve met musicians Glenn Frey, Branford Marsalis and Huey Lewis, to name a few. Professional athletes Penny Hardaway, Joe Theismann, and Drew Brees. And actors George Lopez, Andy Garcia, and Josh Duhamel. I’ve even met President George H.W. Bush – he shoved me in jest on the …
Every day you’re at the golf course, driving range or watching golf on TV, you see many different styles of golf swings. That’s what makes this game so great is that there’s a lot of different ways to swing the club. However, there’s a common trait to all the different styles of swings: a good impact. I really couldn’t tell …
