IMO, all the changes I have seen on here have been absolutely no benefit to the members here. Every change appears to make the game more difficult. So what that tells me, it's in the best interest of this site. Just constantly finding more ways to make us hit our balls more so they wear out sooner. The stuttering meter, false winds and yardages, the false inclinations and declination, putts coming up short. most of us on here have our screens marked or have an index card marked with our putting distances on it. I for one have always had my screen marked and has always been dead on the money, for the last 3 or 4 months, it's changed, 15 foot putts goes 14 feet, The next time I have a 15 foot putt, I add an additional foot and still goes 14 feet. So what I see here is, no matter what adjustments we make, the VEM gives you what it's programmed to do. Making more revenue for this site. I use to play 10 to 12 times daily, now I play 3 or less. They are constantly altering my shots and yours for the purpose of making more money. I am not the only one here who has stopping playing as much and some have stopped all together. Regardless of all the complaints we make in this forum, this site will continue to stay the course. They can drive themselves out of business if they want, but I for one will gradually decrease my game play to not playing at. Surely their revenue has been affected or maybe they don't care. One thing for sure, I don't see their books as far as the revenue goes, but I can see the amount of people not playing anymore and how hard it is to get an AS game started anymore. Just my opinion.
