I’ve come across one of my new favorite public golf courses. And it’s one I had never heard of until just the other day.

It’s in the mountains of Hunterdon County. Well, mountains might be a stretch, but compared to where I’m from they certainly look like mountains.

It’s High Bridge Hills Golf Club in High Bridge New Jersey. It’s one of the most picturesque golf courses I’ve played in our state.

Super hilly, beautiful views of the vegetation and rolling hills around you. Some of the tee boxes are incredibly high up which creates a fun look.

It’s also a relatively wide-open course. There aren’t many times you’ll find yourself in the trees. The problem though, is the fescue rough that is seemingly on every single hole.

If you miss the fairway you’re likely to end up in knee-high fescue rough that is just impossible to hit out of.

There’s also a ton of blind tee shots. It’s essentially “target golf” if you will. Pick out your target from the tee box and try and hit it there and hope. Because you won’t be able to see where your ball lands on a lot of these holes.

The condition of the course is as good as you’re going to get especially for a public course. The fairways are tightly mown and the greens are fast and roll very true. You won’t have to worry about any unexpected bounces.

It will really feel like you’re playing a course outside of NJ. It’s one that should be on your bucket list.

Condiment – noun: a substance such as salt or ketchup that is used to add flavor to food.

Summer means the start of barbecue season in New Jersey, so we’re going to be using a lot of condiments in the coming months.

Slathering a hot dog or hamburger with your favorite toppings is one of the best parts of an outdoor hangout in the summer, but do you think you can guess what the Garden State’s most popular condiment is?

If it were up to me: it would be hot sauce. No question.

Whether it’s a national brand like Frank’s Hot Sauce or something Jersey-made like White House Station sauce, any food item is just a vehicle for me to basically set my tongue on fire.

However, a recent study shows that New Jerseyans prefer something much different when it comes to condiments.

The experts at The Cookie Rookie used Google search data to see which popular sauces are the most loved in each U.S. state and nationally.

According to their research these are New Jersey’s top ten searched sauces:

🔟 Ranch dipping sauce

9️⃣ Hot sauce

22,400 annual searches

8️⃣ Tartar sauce

7️⃣ Relish

5️⃣ Mayonnaise

What? How? Why? Are we sure that this isn’t googled 50,600 times a year because nobody has a clue how to properly spell it?

I have to believe the only reason this is number one in NJ is because people aren’t googling “how to make grandma’s tomato pasta sauce,” otherwise there’d be no competition.
