The world expects hate and resentment in response to hate and resentment.

Be a true rebel: respond with kindness and grace.

@MidwestGolfJake Oh it’s almost purely ceremonial. The undersecretary does all the work. You’ll not only get to play a lot of golf, you’ll be able to comp most of your rounds as business expenses on the taxpayers’ dime. Well, quarter, cuz I’m abolishing the nickel and dime too.

When I become president, first thing I’m doing is splitting the difference on DST. Second thing I’m doing is opening up deer hunting season year round and putting $50 bounty on each one. They are pests and a menace.

(Third act will be making Masters patron etiquette standard across all pro events).

Vote Grehan, 2032

The chances of a deer taking you out at a crosswalk are slim. But never zero.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

Correction: bounty will be $250/head. Forgot to adjust for inflation.

@MidwestGolfJake You will be Secretary of Transportation and encourage Boeing to get back to being the pride of Seattle.

@DefiantLs As with most claims, there’s probably some truth to this, but it’s far from categorically true.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

I read the transcript from that meeting with the 60 minutes staff. I get Pelley’s frustration but you have to be more professional about it. That’s a one-on-one conversation, not a “Everyone’s thinking it so I’m gonna say it and turn the whole team against him”.

That said I hope he wasn’t fired for just that. I hope it was more about irreconcilable differences.

@meisterbuerger @stuartenyt I wish Bari Weiss and CBS well, but, man… rough start to say the least.

Maybe you’re finding hard to celebrate the 4th because our president is kind of a dick…

But looking at what’s happening in the UK?

We should all celebrate that 250 yrs ago our founding fathers told the King to kiss their ass & we’re keeping our guns.

@BrandonTucker @ErikVoorhees I don’t know what the solutions are, but our government is not coming up with good ones fast enough.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@RetroGolfGame I would also quietly argue that golfers who only play if they can ride are the primary culprits of slow play. I realize this doesn’t necessarily apply to those with physical limitations but those who are able bodied but hate the idea of walking tend to lack ready-golf etiquette.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

The use of powered golf carts is the #1 cause of slow play.

[John Morton, PGA @JohnMorton215]

What golf opinion makes you feel like this?

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@BryanTweed16 @GolfBurner I'm starting to think if you could play private courses whenever you want, you'd move to Lexington/Concord.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@AlexConti Well, Brown is the only one with an ego, so...

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@rcbooth @TampaBayTre I mean, that is the QUINTESSENTIAL "I'm quitting YouTube" thumbnail/face.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@Meghan_Ottolini I don't care about who won or lost the trade. I care that I remain unconvinced that Brown is a net positive for the team when factoring in Diggs' excellent team leadership and chemistry with Maye. Brown is VERY MUCH TBD on those fronts.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

This is more common than you might think, especially in the post-COVID boom. So many courses are obsessed with maxing out the tee sheet, so they do things like charge spectators, pair up singles for no reason, charge no-shows, and get rid of walking rates. It sucks. I play less golf directly because of sh*t like this.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

Rise of Nations was a perfect game. Still play it every year or so.

[Ramin Nasibov @RaminNasibov]

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

The great thing about freedom is you don't have to settle for an A, B, C, D, or E region forever. Work hard, earn the cash, and go wherever you damn well please as often as you can manage. Enjoy life.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

This is exactly the kind of move a Super Bowl runner-up makes because (like so many teams before them) they have convinced themselves they are "just one player away" from winning it all. They aren't.

They are a decent team that is betting the future on a malcontent playmaker. The result will be the same as it always is for these teams: falling woefully short of artificially high expectations. Hello 8-9. Hope it was worth the wait.

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

The A.J. Brown era in Philly is officially over.

The #Eagles have traded Brown to the #Patriots in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder, sources tell The Insiders. The expected deal is now completed.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@tak6tak @fnf2017 I think the Eagles win more games and make it closer to the SB over the next 3 years than the Patriots. Brown is talented but you don't need that kind of drama in the locker room. You'll be fine without him and the Patriots will be *fine* with him.

[Ben Grehan @Back9Ben]

@tak6tak @fnf2017 Your imagination is far more optimistic than my reality, but I appreciate you 🙏
