When Elliott Blackmore discovered Mental Health Swims, it felt like home. Swimming and paddleboarding alone had felt lonely; other groups seemed a little unwelcoming. This community felt "totally, 100% nonjudgmental," he says.

Golfing among U.S. presidents is culturally embedded in the job—even if you come into the White House as a casual player. It's seen as a stress reliever for one of the toughest jobs in the world. One of the first presidents to take up a club was William Howard Taft, who served from 1909 to 1913. Taft loved golf, so much so that it garnered him detractors during his 1908 presidential campaign for playing a "rich man's game." But Taft isn't the only president with an ardent love...

The tables finally turned on Riviera Country Club, and a player delivered a devastating gut punch to the tournament. Unfortunately, it was not a golf shot that laid the course low, and the playing dealing the unexpected damage was Tiger Woods, who withdrew from the tournament Friday afternoon after hitting his tee shot on the seventh hole. Play continued, and Long Beach's Patrick Cantlay, who learned Riviera as a player on UCLA's golf team, stretched his lead. Much like Joaqui...
Riviera kept its secrets in the first round. As the day wore on, the greens got trickier, the wind got stronger, and the world's best golfers lost their way. UCLA alumni Patrick Cantlay leads at seven under par after a scorching start that saw him five under after eight holes. One back is Cam Davis, who fought the front side but cruised on the back nine, finishing it at five under. Also in contention are Luke List, who also torched the front side, and Australia's Jason day,...
