  Hey guys, I was playing a 9 hole unlimited play for week 28 at bethpage black and i was playing very well. I started with 4 straight birdies and despite parring the 14th easy par 3, I birdied 15th, the hardest hole on the course. After a par on 16th and a lipout for birdie on 17th from 8 feet. I needed a birdie on 18th to win outright and not go in the tie breaker.

  That is when things went wrong. I missed ding by like 0.01 inch but my tee shot flared way into the right bunker. I got it out into some deep rough in front of the green and after a miraculous punch, i saved par. But i was placed second because the tiebreaker rules on the scores on the last 6, 3, or last hole. I want to know does this kind of glitch that have to ball fly way offline happen to you guys a lot or was it just bad luck for me.

  Have fun and hit them straight, Zheng111

  Starter clubs are notorious for flying way off line, even when dinged.

  It still happens with the top equipment, but the effects are more subtle.

  Thanks for the info, out of curiosity, i've read recent posts 'bout VEM, wonder if that's the cause.

  Good Luck and hit them straight. Zheng111

  Hi, as you've probably noticed there is a huge amount of discussion about VEM... we probably don't need too many more threads about it :)

  At this point, as noted, you can expect occasional stray shots even though you feel you have set up and executed the shot perfectly.  Just nod your head and move on.  With more rounds under your belt, you'll know more about what you can expect from your clubs.

  If you are more curious about the software model, it would help to get a few more rounds under your belt so that you can tap your own experience when evaluating and reading about VEM.  I've done 200 rounds and can tell you that for me it is still an open question.  There are even players with 1000's of rounds that have very different views about how the game behaves.

  Anyway, best of luck to you too and enjoy!   -Keith
