👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

In one of the most unusual stories to come out of amateur golf, a golfer was stripped of his title after he was found to have lied about his qualifications. We break down the lie, how it was revealed, and more in our first story. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm shares his opinion on the PGA Tour’s new system, a winner discusses facing expectations, and more.

Let’s get started…

The organizers and officials did not learn about it until a well-known insider informed them days after the golfer’s win.

When you add AI to your app, the data profile changes overnight. Every prompt, response, and user interaction becomes a timestamped event. That's not your app's usual row count.

Vanilla Postgres handles it until it doesn't. Query times creep up. Dashboard refreshes slow down. You start reaching for a second database or a data pipeline to offload the load.

TimescaleDB extends Postgres for exactly this. It doesn't replace what's working. It makes Postgres stay fast as AI-generated data piles up.

Hypertables partition your data automatically as volume grows. Hypercore compression cuts storage 10x. Continuous aggregates keep your dashboards live without re-querying everything. No pipeline. No second database. No migration.

Same Postgres. Same SQL. Just built to handle what AI features actually generate.
