 👋 Hey Golf Fans,

If you’re a stargazer, this is for you: the Eta Aquariids meteor shower starts tonight. You can see dozens of meteors per hour in dark pre-dawn skies. So, make a note on that.

Make a note of today’s breaking news as well: Jordan Spieth has just made a very on-brand record, Bryson DeChambeau is once again upset with the LIV setup, and the LPGA has just won big.

Let’s get started…

It was a pretty chaotic week for the pro, but this record might just be the highlight from the RBC Heritage.





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.

On April 19, 1972, the 1931 U.S. Open champ Bill Burke passed away in Florida. Despite his unorthodox grip after the partial loss of two fingers on his left hand, Burke won 13 recognized PGA Tour titles. His pinnacle was in 1931, when he became the first to win the U.S. Open using steel shafts. George Von Elm and Burke were tied after regulation, which forced a 36-hole playoff. They remained tied even after that, which forced the second 36-hole playoff. Burke finally won the tournament by one stroke.

Jonathan's Journal: A Novel
by Gerald Everett Jones
A forgotten diary. A century-old mystery. A man searching for meaning in both. When Jonathan Worthington stumbles upon a meticulously written World War I journal, he doesn’t expect to discover a life that parallels his own. He dives deeper into the memoirs of a soldier known only as “Fred” and forgotten conflicts in the Near East and India.
