Happy Friday. Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster just received the lowest health inspection score in Somerset County—a dismal 32 out of 100—after racking up 18 food violations during a May inspection. Half the violations at the $350,000-member club were deemed critical with "unacceptable health risk," including failures in basic food safety knowledge and hand-washing stations without soap or paper towels. Inspectors also discovered a household microwave in the main kitchen, which violates commercial food establishment regulations. The club, infamous for hosting Elon Musk's viral "ketamine" dinner where he played with spoons, operates under the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. The inspection results put the prestigious club at odds with its luxury reputation and high membership fees. ⬇️

👀 Meet David

Meet David—the game-changing protein bar redefining nutrition. While typical bars offer 20g of protein with over 350 calories and 20g of sugar, David delivers more with less: 28g of protein, just 150 calories, and 0g sugar.

For years, protein bars have packed unnecessary fillers—kind of like carrying a 60° wedge when you can't hit it. David sets a new standard: 40% more protein, 57% fewer calories, and 0g of sugar.

Perfect for gym sessions, long rounds, or life on the go, it delivers premium nutrition without compromise. Taste, nutrition, and science—finally in balance.

David isn’t just better; it’s the future of protein.

📰 GOLF STORIES

⛳️ Chase your dreams

Two wildly different dreamers just punched their tickets to the U.S. Open in the most inspiring way possible. Mason Howell, a 17-year-old from Thomasville, Georgia, who started swinging clubs at age three, will be among the youngest competitors at Oakmont after an emotional qualifying performance that left him hugging his parents on the 18th green. "It was one of the greatest moments of my life," the high school junior said. Meanwhile, Dr. Matt Vogt, a 34-year-old dentist from Indiana, proved it's never too late to chase dreams by qualifying while juggling patient appointments and minimal sleep. "You can accomplish awesome things while still having a career... still having a family," Vogt told ABC News. Both will tee it up alongside golf's elite at Oakmont Country Club. ⬇️

😢 Is this the end for Phil Mickelson?

Phil Mickelson just confronted his golfing mortality in the most brutally honest way possible, admitting he's "held back" his LIV team the past two years and questioning whether it's "time to move on." The six-time major champion's rare moment of self-reflection came during a press conference where his HyFlyers teammates praised his legacy—while Mickelson acknowledged the harsh reality of his declining performance. After finishing 39th, 33rd, and 50th in LIV's individual standings, the eternal optimist said he doesn't want to be a liability anymore. Adding urgency to his soul-searching? Next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont could be his final guaranteed appearance, as his five-year exemption from winning the 2021 PGA Championship expires this year. "There's a high likelihood that it will be," Mickelson admitted about a potential farewell.

👀 LIV signs the Rae’s Creek pisser

LIV Golf just signed the most notorious amateur champion in recent memory—Jose Luis Ballester, who famously peed in Augusta's sacred Rae's Creek and happens to be dating a certified Golf Girlfriend Tour standout. The move represents LIV's desperate attempt to generate buzz while averaging just 475,000 viewers compared to the PGA Tour's 3.1 million on major networks. Ballester brings exactly what LIV needs: talent (he's the U.S. Amateur champion), controversy (that Augusta incident), and street cred through his high-profile relationship. As Barstool's Jerry Thornton notes, LIV should market him as "Golf's Bad Boy"—the rebel with no respect for tradition who could theoretically urinate at every sacred golf site. While the Saudis can afford the financial losses, Ballester represents their best shot at relevance beyond reunion talks. ⬇️
