Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus had the time of a lifetime July 19. The members of Rascal Flatts golfed on the nationally televised American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe before crossing the street and playing a concert for a sold-out Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys. There were some good moments on the course, and onstage, it was all good. The packed crowd loved the “Live and Loud” show, a blend of feel-good popular country and rock.
