Patrick Duke, a 67-year-old English golfer just achieved a hole-in-one, in a moment many players chase for a lifetime. Playing a par three with friends, Duke watched his shot land, spin back, and drop into the cup. The achievement was made even more meaningful by the journey that led him there, according to The Times.
After losing one of his arms in a devastating work accident in 2012, golf became a lifeline that offered routine, friendship, and a renewed sense of purpose. Duke says the sport helped him rebuild his confidence and hopes his story reminds others that joy, connection, and possibility can still find you, even after life changes everything.

LIFE SOUNDS BETTER WHEN YOU'RE PART OF THE CONVERSATION |

If conversations have started to feel harder to follow, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to push through it quietly. Many people notice subtle hearing changes long before they’re ready to call it “hearing loss."

The Good readers can explore an option that helps people reconnect—with their families, their activities, and the moments that matter most.

Current-day football helmets are undergoing transformation driven by data, sensors, and smarter materials designed to better absorb and redirect the force of head contact. Engineers now use flexible shells, 3D-printed liners, and lab-tested collision simulations to reduce the kinds of impact most closely linked to concussions, shares Science.
While helmets can’t eliminate risk entirely, real-world testing shows meaningful gains in modern designs that better soften hits and lower concussion rates in professional football. When science, transparency, and accountability lead the way, even long-standing systems can evolve to better protect the people inside them.

A FAMILY GAME PLAN FOR HEALTH |
|
|
Tony Romo and his dad, Ramiro, are using their family’s prostate cancer journey to push an important message on men’s health. They shared with The Healthy that after Ramiro’s diagnosis in 2007, their perspective shifted on the everyday moments like playing golf, cookouts, and watching the game.
Now they’re partnering with Bayer to encourage earlier conversations and screening, especially for men who tend to avoid checkups even when family history raises risk. Their pitch is warm and practical: make a plan, stay consistent with follow-ups, and protect more time for the people you love.

THE CASE FOR JOYFUL MOVEMENT |
|
|
Exercise doesn’t have to be another item on our to-do list. It can be a form of play that brings us back into our bodies and into the present moment. When movement is approached with curiosity and enjoyment, it naturally supports mindfulness, easing stress, quieting self-judgment, and strengthening the mind–body connection, writes The Mindful Word.
The “right” kind of exercise is the one you enjoy and can return to with ease. Whether it’s walking, stretching, dancing, or shooting hoops, moving with intention and presence can gently support mental health and help us feel more alive along the way.

FINDING WONDER IN STILLNESS |
|
|
A quiet marine sanctuary outside Melbourne, Australia taught one snorkeler an unexpected lesson: stillness reveals what rushing past never can. By slowing down in cold, unassuming waters, subtle wonders emerged. Sharing the experience with Psyche, she observed flounders burying into sand, tiny seahorses, nudibranchs, and a living landscape that rewards patience.
That attentiveness didn’t stay underwater. Back on land, the practice of noticing lingered, softening busy moments and turning everyday scenes into small acts of presence. Wonder often appears when we finally pause long enough to see it.
