👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

What might prove more harmful to aspiring Tour pros than LIV Golf? One major champion claimed it could be the PGA Tour’s new system itself. We break down why that is the case, the multiple (colorful) ways the pros celebrated 4th of July, Charlie Woods’s historic NIL valuation, and more.

Let’s get started…

Brian Rolapp’s new system is ambitious, sure, but only for the elites. What about the rest of the golfers?

Most teams treat analytics as a separate problem. As data grows, they add a warehouse, a pipeline, a sync job. By the time data reaches their dashboard, it's already stale.

TimescaleDB takes a different approach: extend Postgres instead of splitting away from it.

Your transactions and your analytics run on the same database, on live data, with no pipeline in between.

Hypertables partition time-series data automatically as volume grows. Hypercore compression cuts storage by up to 95%. Continuous aggregates pre-compute rollups so dashboards stay fast without re-querying everything.

CERN runs it on Postgres to handle sensor data from the Large Hadron Collider.

No second database. No migration. Same Postgres you already know.
