This is the study I cited in the interview.
Living within 1 mile of a golf course increased Parkinson’s risk by 126% compared to living over 6 miles away, and the greatest risk (a 198% increase) was observed for those living 1–2 miles from a golf course!
People relying on groundwater near golf courses had nearly double the risk of Parkinson's compared to areas without golf courses.
Dr Rhonda Patrick says one study found people living within about a mile of a golf course had a much higher rate of Parkinson's, and she explains why pesticides in the water are the suspect.

📸 From the Rás Archives — 1984
A great photograph we came across during the week, showing current Rás Tailteann Race Director Ger Campbell helping Stephen Delaney during the team time trial from Enniscorthy to Gorey in the 1984 Rás Tailteann.

I was there. Half empty stands were a disgrace.
They knew ticket sales were dire, so where was the dynamic pricing model to drop prices, supported by marketing?
And where was the back up of giving tickets to youngsters in Athletics clubs and other sports clubs?
Embarrasing.

When you’ve pinned on race numbers since 1980, any day you win a race is special. Even more special when it’s a national championship.
Delighted to win my first track gold.
Congrats and thanks to everyone involved in the CI Track Commission who ran an excellent event today.

Just tried out my new clobber from my favourite cycling brand @galibiervelo. The Classique shorts and Bordeaux jersey are fantastic. Even the complementary socks are great. 🤌
