    The point is: everyone gets deviations. Some are big, some are small, some are almost none at all...it is completely random, and I have never seen a round go by (even on Bollox's youtube channel) without some kind of rather large deviation. The great players suck it up and make the putt!!!

    ^^^^^All day........

    US OPEN CHAMPION:  Some guy named Webb Simpson, a total unknown even to most golf fans.

    A total unknown? Are you out of your tree mate.?  Do you follow the PGA tour at all..?

    What would you have said if  Nicolas Colsaerts, or Branden Grace had won the US Open.? Would you say that they are total unknowns?

    Do you see my point..?

    Over the past 14 months, Simpson has arguably played better than anyone on the PGA tour..He deserved to win, and it is no surprise to me at all that he holds the trophy..

    This deviation thing is silly. It is not the lucky few. It is the few that pay attention, clear their caches, use chrome, have the newest computers, and don't have a ton of things running while playing...and then hit the ding! 

    The VEM doesn't care whether your cache is cleared, nor which browser you run, nor whether you are using an HP or a Samsung..

    The VEM is an equal opportunity beast which will deviate your shot when it wants, and where it wants..

    Actually, I have actually noticed that my deviations are smaller when the cache is cleared and I'm using chrome...

    I like VEM-it makes up for the fact that lies (like uphill, downhill, sidehill) are not put into WGT...and it makes up for the fact that there are no random pitchmarks on the green-and no hardpan in the fairways that affects your shot, and all greens are the same speed and firmness (within the course), and uphill/downhill is shown exactly, and you get an exact yardage! These things (lies, pitchmarks, hardpan, different greens, slope, and yardage) are normal IRL, and VEM takes them out of play for a simpler game environment...not to mention dirty clubs, tee height, etc.

    WGT community opposed to VEM-Quit whining, suck it up, and accept the fact that it positively impacts the gameplay. If you guys want it gone, there would probably be about 5 more things to adjust before you hit...making it harder and making multiplayer games a REAL drag!!!
