👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

We all agree there’s alien life? Maybe. Do we all agree that NASA’s moon-landing footage is real? Not everyone. Bryson DeChambeau doesn’t, and he has a curious argument for that. Meanwhile, a Tour rookie has announced a hiatus from pro golf, Adam Scott is nearing a Jack Nicklaus record, and a major champion has spoken against a modern-day trend in golf course design.

Let’s get started…

It's part of a long series of arguments “The Scientist,” a Physics major, has made, including his curious take on UFOs and aliens.






Your Shampoo Is Making Your Hair Thinner. Use This Instead.

Most shampoos strip the scalp. SLS, salt, parabens — the standard formula that cleans your hair while quietly working against it. If you've noticed thinning and haven't changed your shampoo, that's where to start.

Particle Hair-Thickening Shampoo is SLS-free, salt-free, and paraben-free. It doesn't just clean — it rebuilds, from root to tip, with a science-backed formula that makes hair look and feel fuller over time. Thinning hair can quietly take a toll on how you feel every day. This is the switch that fixes it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
