 👋 Hey Golf Fans,

No post-Masters coverage has sparked more debate than CBS's this year. The beleaguered network might point to the historic TV rating after shattering an 11-year-old record, but that does nothing to assuage its critics, including a four-time PGA Tour winner. Meanwhile, Lydia Ko talked about her struggles, a few patrons lost their badges, and Sergio Garcia had something to say after his Augusta meltdown.

Let’s get started…

Not just fans but even players are angry at CBS. The American pro minced no words while discussing CBS’s abysmal coverage.




Gray Hair? This Is How You Reduce It Naturally

Most men dealing with gray hair have two options: live with it or dye it. Dye works, but it has a tell. The roots. The uniformity. The fact that it looks like something you did rather than something you have.

But now there is a third option: Particle Anti-Gray Serum. A daily spray that works at the root to gradually restore your natural color — hair and beard — without dye, without mess, without anyone knowing you're doing anything at all. Premium ingredients. Clinically researched. Thirty-day guarantee. Over 1,000,000 men use Particle because the results look like them.

You read what the pro said about the broadcast last week. You also read about the great TV ratings from the Masters. Now, tell us…

Mickey Wright is second only to Kathy Whitworth in most LPGA wins. 

On April 15, 1973, Mickey Wright claimed her final LPGA Tour title at the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s Circle (now the Chevron Championship). She fired a final-round 68 (4-under par) to win by two strokes over Joyce Kazmierski. It brought her LPGA title tally to 82, second only to Kathy Whitworth's 88. Although the tournament gained major status in 1983, the change was not applied retroactively, so it does not count among the 13 majors Wright won during her career.
