Today is final deadline day on the latest writing project and this is mostly how it has been done over the last few months.
Really couldn't have done it without their boundless energy and support.
Aaron Rai’s historic victory at the PGA Championship is a fantastic reminder of just how great of a multicultural sporting nation the United Kingdom has become.
Aaron’s parents are of Indian and Kenyan descent, but he was born and raised in the heart of England. Now he’s broken the more than 100 year drought of English major winners to lift the Wanamaker Trophy.
Yesterday, he was asked about his heritage:
“I'm very proud to be from England. That's where I grew up. That's where a lot of my family still live.
“I'm very proud of India and Kenya as well. My mum grew up there. My mum’s side of the family lived there for a number of years before they moved to England. My sister now lives there. My mum still spends a lot of time in Kenya.
“Again, going back a couple of generations, both of my sets of grandparents from my mum and dad's side were from India.
“Again, I'm very proud of representing all three really. I don't know what all that represents or how it's going to come across. All I can say is I'm very proud to be a mix of all of them.”
Aaron Rai isn’t just an English champion, he’s a global one, and he’s an incredible ambassador for the sport.

Ben Hogan’s left arm got closer to his chest as he turned through the shot.
Instinctually, a lot of golfers “chicken wing” because they think they can hit the ball harder. But that’s not how serious compression is created.
Pull in as you turn the corner, and keep that upper left arm tied to the chest. That’s where the speed, control, and compression come together.

10 years ago, Lisa Cink was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. She has gone no fewer than three weeks between treatments ever since.
Her doctor said this week that she can stop treatment.
@StewartCink: "An inspiration for a lot of people, me included." ❤️

Matt Fitzpatrick was asked about his reaction to the crowds down the stretch at the RBC Heritage:
"It didn't get out of line in terms of no one was shouting on backswings or anything like that, which was great. I'm all for it. I love the people -- they're supporting Scottie; that's great. You want golf to have an atmosphere in my opinion. I grew up watching football. I'm paid so much money to be out there in front of those crowds, having them chanting at you every week, it's great feeling.
"However, there's no better feeling than coming out on top against that. There isn't a better feeling."

Rafael Nadal was diagnosed with Müller-Weiss syndrome at 19 years old. The navicular bone in his left foot was collapsing. There is no cure. The condition is degenerative. It only gets worse.
The navicular is the keystone of the human foot. It catches the head of the talus and connects to the first three toes. It absorbs the majority of load when you change direction. In tennis, players change direction hundreds of times per match. On clay, where the surface forces you to slide into every shot, the stress on that bone multiplies.
His sport demands exactly the one thing his body could no longer do without pain.
He won 22 Grand Slams after the diagnosis. Fourteen of them at Roland Garros, the clay court tournament that punished his foot the hardest. His record there: 112 wins, 4 losses. A 97% win rate across 23 years at the single venue that required the most from the bone that was failing him.
For context, the other Grand Slam dominance records: Djokovic at the Australian Open has a 91% win rate. Federer at Wimbledon had 88%. Nadal's 97% at Roland Garros isn't just the best in tennis. There may not be a comparable number in any individual sport at any single venue, ever.
He once told reporters he doesn't remember what the feeling of playing without pain is. The condition is most common in women aged 40 to 60. He got it at 19 and kept winning for 19 more years.
The Rafa documentary drops May 29. During the French Open. The tournament he won 14 times will be happening without him while 300 million subscribers watch what it actually cost him to own it. He turns 40 on June 3.
Netflix timed this so the stadium that was his is full of players trying to fill a void that 97% says might be permanent.
Today's session was remarkable in raising awareness about #LungHealthAwarenessMonth. Thanks to @itvnews for filming a follow-up piece on our @macmillancancer project.
Our project has seen a major shift in the change of attitudes towards cancer in the local #BAME communities 💚
