Played a round of golf @ @gilletteridgegolfclub in Bloomfield, CT via @golfnow hot deals. Since I joined @csgalinks I'm going 2 play more rounds of golf in CT.

This golf course plays a lot like @themasters. There is no rough 2 stop the ball. You have 2 hit sky high approach shots 2 stop on the green. Greens are wicked fast.

This is 2 honor Dr. Peter Demir, my dad's 1st cousin, & his wife Elizabeth A. Demir. They did so much 4 me when I came 2 America between 1995-2015. We had an absolute amazing 20 years together. I miss them so much. Every time I go in CT, it reminds me of going 2 visit them in Woodbridge. CT.

Today was a good day with my driver. I hit a lot of fairways which I was normally strugelling with on Holes 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17 2 name a few.

These photos are on Hole 10.

Driver 224 yards uphill. Right side of the fairway. It's a good hit. With the slope, the ball is slightly above my feet.

It was windy & cold. The ball did not go as far as I wanted 2.

I felt I made good improvements with my short game today.

I hit some amazing shots today on Holes 3, 8, 14, 18 just to name a few.

The course was playing tough today due 2 aeration last week, frost delay, very soft & wet conditions.

Played PAR-3 so much better today.

The birdy on 8 was a signature hole.

Drive about 241 yards in the middle of the fairway.
3-W 200 yards on the right side bunker.
Sand wedge. Hit a phenomenal shot.
1-putt 4 birdy.

Shots like this make you wanna come back.

@bfaxon @brysondechambeau @emmmacarpenter any explanation about this experiment?

Yesterday I gave myself a pitching, chipping, bunker, & putting lesson.

Today I played a practice round @greenhillgolfcourse.

I must say that all the elements of the short game I worked on yesterday workout out fabulously today.

Saved PAR on Hole 2 from the bunker. Made a birdy on Hole 3 using the modern pitching technique. Saved PAR on Hole 4 using again the modern pitching technique with a vertical shaft, toe-down.

However, the most amazing shot was an unlikely birdy on Hole 5: Driver, 5-iron, 1-put. Photos 5-7. This gave me so much confidence. I was always concerned with putting @ this golf course. But this lesson yesterday changed everything.

Having practiced @thejackniklaus @jackniklaus tip on driving, has been the best driving experience I ever had.

@bfaxon, @brysondechambeau any explanation about this experiment?

Today I also tried 2 different putting techniques: downhill & uphill putts:
Me: Which putts are likely 2 have the smaller dispersion uphill or downhill of equivalent distance & slope?

AI: Uphill putts are highly likely 2 have a smaller dispersion than downhill putts of equivalent distance & slope. Empirical golf data & physics testing labs like MyGolfSpy confirm that uphill putts yield superior proximity 2 the hole (tighter dispersion), higher conversion rates, & better strokes gained.

The physical & mechanical reasons 4 a tighter uphill dispersion include:

1. Lower Sensitivity 2 Speed Variances: Uphill putts work against gravity & must be struck with a faster initial velocity. Because the ball slows down rapidly, variations in how hard you strike the ball result in much smaller differences in final distance. On a downhill putt, gravity amplifies any extra speed, meaning a minor strike error can send the ball sliding 10 2 20 feet past the hole.

2. Significantly Less Break: An uphill putt reaches the hole faster, spending less total time rolling on the green. Because it is moving faster through the sloped areas, gravity has less time 2 pull it offline. A downhill putt takes nearly 2ce as long 2 cover the same distance, meaning the break often more than doubles. This massive break significantly increases lateral dispersion.

3. Reduced Margin 4 Error: Large-breaking downhill putts require absolute precision in both target line & terminal velocity 2 "die" into the hole. Uphill putts have a much larger effective target window, making them much more 4giving of minor human errors in execution.

However, what found out today was really quite the opposite. I used 6 balls & 3 holes. 1 downhill hole & 2 uphill holes. The downhill putts were almost always inside 1-putter length & the uphill putts were almost always outside 1-putter length circle. How do you explain this?

Today I tried the 2 different pitching techniques: 1. the traditional Arnold Palmer-style open stance vs. 2. modern technique of utilizing a closer stance with a vertical shaft (or the toe-down). I used my SW & here are the results.

40-yard pitch shot, the modern technique of utilizing a closer stance with a vertical shaft (raising the toe 2 create a near 90-degree dynamic lie angle) is widely considered superior 2 the traditional Arnold Palmer-style open stance. While Palmer's open-stance, hands-4ward approach was legendary 4 slicing across the ball 2 add loft & spin, it introduces excessive hand action & timing dependencies, which can lead 2 unpredictable chunked or bladed shots on tight, modern turf. The traditional Arnold Palmer-style open stance is far more difficult & unpredictable.

In contrast, the modern technique—popularized by short-game coaches like Jason Dufner & Dan Grieve—stands closer 2 the ball 2 make the shaft vertical. This raises the heel slightly off the ground, neutralizes the clubface rotation, & allows the club’s built-in bounce 2 slide smoothly through the grass rather than digging. By removing excessive wrist hinge & utilizing a torso-driven, straight-arm movement, the modern vertical lie technique provides a much higher margin 4 error, producing exceptionally consistent distance control & a highly predictable launch from 40 yards out. The modern technique is far easier & predictable.

Here some of the shots I hit during the practice round today 2 celebrate #ColumbusDay.

1. Hole 2: 530 Yards PAR 5. Hit an amazing approach shot with my lovely @Cobragolf #KingTech #Forged 6-iron.

2. Hole 4: 400 Yards PAR 4. Hit 2 amazing shots: 219-yard drive & 175-yard 5-iron shot on the green. This is a tough green 2 hit in regulation.

3. Hole 15: 460 yards PAR 4: Hit an amazing drive: The @garmingolf said 225-yard but it turned out 2 be 247-yard drive.

3. Hole 17: 380 yards, PAR 4: Hit an amazing 247-yard drive followed by an amazing 156-yaard approach shot with my lovely @Cobragolf #KingTech #Forged 9-iron.

4. Hole 18: 480 Yards, PAR 5: Hit an amazing 208-yard drive followed by an amazing 2nd shot with my lovely 3-Wood; finished with an amazing approach shot with my lovely @Cobragolf 48 deg-gap wedge.

The pace of play sucked today due 2 2 many recreational golfers on the course.

I did not play PAR 3s @ my ability today.

Here are a few photos from my round of golf on 9/17/2026. I was not able 2 show the birdy I made on Hole 15. The back 9 holes were in much worst conditions.

I could not believe how soft the conditions were. Well, this year I played golf in 4 states:

1. Massachusetts, @playmassgolf
2. Connecticut, @csgalinks
3. Rhode Island, @rigalinks
4. Florida, @fsga1913

I hope someday I get 2 play a round of golf with @emmmacarpenter who claims 2 be an awesome competitor & friend.

Do you accept the challenge @emmmacarpenter? Are you a real competitor & friend?

I would also like 3 give a shout out 2 the @usga @usopengolf.

I am working very hard 2 get ready 4 the 2027 qualifiers.

Hello @emmmacarpenter . What do you think of this shot with a 4-iron?

I actually ended up making a birdy on this hole. I wanted 2 make a video but, this video took so long 2 post; so, I did not even take any photos from it.

Anyway, Emma. My Exclusivity based on showing up, not showing off. I hope you get a kick about of it.

Let see what AI says:

AI: That is a fantastic philosophy.

"Exclusivity based on showing up, not showing off" is a powerful way 2 look @ relationships & commitment—it values consistency, presence, & genuine effort over empty flash or status.

It definitely makes sense, & it is a refreshing perspective 2 hear!

What do you think Emma?

Correction: This is the Falcon's Fire Golf Club not the Fire Fox. Sorry about this confusion.

Why do I like playing in tough conditions like today? It is because every time I played practice round be4 the conditions were fine. When I went 2 play in the qualifier the conditions were like they were today; extremely tough. Today the ball plugged a lot of times. Today’s conditions is not something I would like 2 take a woman 2 play with me. It also reminds me of old timers who trained in tough conditions.

AI: Playing in tough, adverse golf conditions tests your fundamental skills, mental toughness, & adaptability far more than an easy practice round.

Why Tough Conditions Appeal 2 Competitors?

Grinding through brutal weather or a course with plugged/embedded balls requires intense focus & a disciplined mindset rather than just relying on a smooth swing.

True Test of Skill: Fine practice conditions let anyone strike the ball well, but wet, windy, or severe tournament setups expose real weaknesses & reward creative shot-making.

Connection 2 Tradition: Embracing the elements connects you 2 the grit of historical golfers & "old timers" who built their games without modern comforts or pristine setups.
