@stoolpresidente I’ve been looking forward to getting into this since I preordered it in March. @BFW gave it a rave review so now I’m really fucking excited.
If we’re being honest with each other, I’ll go first.
I use marijuana.
It’s done more for my anxiety than any prescription anxiety medication I’ve ever been given. It’s done more for my stress than any antidepressant.
So if we’re going to have an honest conversation about who I am and what I believe, let’s start there.
I use marijuana, and I’m not ashamed of it.
I’m not sure I’ve found the words yet.
If I’m being honest, last year wasn’t filled with many highs. There were a lot more questions than answers, a lot more frustration than celebration, and plenty of moments that tested my belief in myself. This game can be incredibly humbling. It doesn’t owe you anything, and sometimes the only thing you can do is keep showing up and trust that the work will eventually pay off.
That’s why this week means so much.
To the fans, thank you for making this championship what it is. New York crowds are passionate, honest, and demanding. Whether you were pulling for me or not, you created an atmosphere I’ll never forget and pushed all of us to compete at our best.
Thank you to the @USGA , the members of Shinnecock Hills, the volunteers, and every person behind the scenes who made this week so special. This place is everything a U.S. Open should be, and I’m incredibly honored to have my name connected to it forever.
To my team, family, friends, and sponsors, thank you for staying in my corner through the difficult stretches. Thank you for believing in me on the days when believing wasn’t easy.
This trophy means more because of the road it took to get here. The setbacks, the doubts, and the hard days all make this moment that much sweeter.
I’ll never forget this week, this place, and what it feels like to stand here as a two-time U.S. Open Champion.
Forever grateful. 🏆 #PLAYBIG

Chase Elliott won, did Kyle Busch’s trademark bow to the crowd and then donated half of the winnings to the Busch family’s Bundle Of Joy charity, if I remember correctly. Class act.
Damn this hit.
All of us parents with little ones will hopefully get to see Brexton race and say:
"You think that kids good. You should have seen his daddy."
Fuck man. ��
We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history.
Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship.
The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox.
Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985.
As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine.
Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.
He was 84 years old.
Wade Garrett in Road House (1989) is the kind of role that reminds you why people loved Sam Elliott so much. The second he walks into the movie, it feels like everybody else is trying to keep up with his level of effortless cool.
