👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
To lie or not lie, that is the question. For one golfer, who lied about shooting a certain score in a member-member tournament, one wrong choice proved costly. Now, days after his cheating came to light, the golfer has come clean on the matter, revealing how it is affecting his family. We have covered everything we know so far, plus one pro’s emotional win, Brian Rolapp’s defense of crucial changes, the launch of a new women’s golf team, and more.
Onward…
The golfer made up a lie, arrived at the next tee before his playing partners, and then tried to cheat. Unfortunately for him, the entire incident was caught on a CCTV camera. The golfer maintains he came clean before the video evidence came to light, but the damage has already been done.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
