👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
Phil Mickelson’s team questioned the allegations made against him. In a long statement, they alleged the reports were false and questioned the ulterior motives behind the report. Meanwhile, on the PGA Tour, Jordan Spieth had another Spieth-like moment, and a pro withdrew due to injury.
Let’s get started…
The long statement alleges that the noted author wrongly dragged Amy Mickelson into the report and calls it ‘baseless’ and ‘false.’
Spieth, once again, had a… well, Spieth-like situation at TPC Deere Run. This wasn’t the first time and likely won’t be the last time. So tell us…
At This Point, Do You Think Trouble Finds Spieth, or Spieth Finds Trouble?
Last Poll Result: 69.15% of you said veteran LIV Golf pros don’t deserve an exemption to senior majors.
You Shipped an AI Feature. Your Database Felt It.
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.
A recap of our most-read stories of the week.
Only 12% of fans earned a perfect score on this quiz. Most people get tripped up somewhere around the middle.
So if you think you've got the golf knowledge, give it a shot. Getting all the questions right has proven tougher than most expect. In fact, so far, only 1 in 8 people have managed a perfect score. Think you'll join them?
