👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
Imagine this: on a playoff hole, you start celebrating thinking you’ve won, and your rival also thinks you’ve won. But then a rules official walks up to you to tell you that you’ve made a big mistake just ten minutes ago, and you’re penalized. That actually happened in a professional golf tournament, and we cover what really happened in perhaps the wildest playoff scenario in a while.
Onward…
Yes, we know the ongoing PGA Tour and LIV Golf events are too hard to miss, but another tournament just had the most interesting final round in recent times. It started with a three-way playoff, turned two-way, before one of the players started celebrating the victory too early. Here’s what transpired next.

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.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
