   I've been trying my best to live with VEM, with little success. The greens are what is killing me. I have lost count of putts that I have SLAMMED that should go 6-8 feet past the hole, just to come up short 90% of the time. Then if I hit any harder they go by the hole 12 feet, nobody can play that chit. I have never ever seen this in real life or any other golf game. Come on WGT, enough, please leave the greens alone.

  Willy, you need to double check your meter setting and adjust your power more carefully.

  Talking of clusters and (not) VEMs:

  Playing last night and NOT having a good time, ALL my putts were stupidly long and I was getting angrier and angrier, (which of course just made things worse). Then on one hole I had a 9 foot shot 2inches downhill but virtually no break set it up got the power perfect hit it, DING ................... went sailing 15foot past the hole.  I went BESERK, shouting at the monitor, calling for painful deaths to all WGT employees, spitting feathers about VEM and life in general, thought screw this game and went to make a cup of tea.

  Then I realised two things, ................. this tournament was set to my tier so I should have been dividing by 1.2 not 1.35 (as I had been earlier that day) for my putting distance (the whole round) and my crack Caddy had been handing me the 20foot increment not the 10.

  Moral: VEM exists but more usually it's me being an idiot!

  U really think I'm that STUPID,  I always double check everything!!!  Its got nothing to do w/me. Guess u don't play much if u have not seen this happen to lots of people.

  I call BS!!! Just own up to it. I've had plenty of WTF shots ... but when I have the time to look at the replay, I can find something I did wrong.
