I surrender! Where do I send the money....

  I don't play the monthly tour Tournaments anymore 'cause I don't like to mess with with all the BS thrown at us, BUT I started playing more again after not playing much for months, so I decided to give the "Trick/Treat" monthly a go as I was hitting them pretty good for a change....

   

  After a restart when I realized the greens were Tourny 11, the round was going surprisingly well...wow, this is great!

  I get to #6 at -6, just put a new ball in play on the previous hole, great drive almost to the creek with 221 or so to go and a 11 mph tailwind, possible eagle but an easy birdie, everything is great....

  I aim a little left of the flag, power up and let it go with another smooth meter and just as I am about to click, the mot## ^*$#%# meter shoots through the ding so fast(and unexpected) that the shot goes 45  degrees straight right OOB's...WTF!!!!

  I know, it's your pc...well NO it isn't, that never happens to me in unlimiteds or practice,,,

  OH, then you just hit it late...NOOOO, if I hit late I would have dinged it because I planned on hitting it a tad early, and the ball went OB halfway to the green...LOL

  Maybe you went to sleep, NNNNN aaa, welllll I'm old and tired so that is possible because it happened so fast I didn't even see it, I timed it, and as I clicked to execute the shot the meter was a mile past the ding line...and it cost me a ball...

   

  OK, that's what happened, more importantly and the reason for the thread is, I can't put up with the BS that happens in the big tournaments I'm running outta sh!t to break, soooo HOW MUCH, and where do I send it?

  Not money, then who do I have to sleep with? I don't care how ugly she is, she ain't getting no prize either! SHE, being the key word, otherwise I'll put up with the BS cause I ain't going there!

  That's what I called 'Denied' and I've had it happen many times. People confuse it with 'user error' (edit: But I know it wasn't my user error, The meter skips on purpose) but that is their error of not observing what is happening. As the VEM programming clearly states, likely for legal reasons, this is explained in full detail.*

  People may disagree but they can't change my view on what I know is accurate.

  On a similar topic, I made a thread about the gameplay then someone pointed out that my observations were the same as one of the respected players here on WGT (now a tour legend)

  E) 'Denied'; all seems normal as you click on 'hook' or ding but I'll slide past ding in the blink of an eye to slice the ball.

  First, allow me to clean up a little...mot*** *******meter...ok better now...anyway, you are so right. My meter is smooth as my ***, all the time....until recently. Smack-dab out of the blue the meter goes super-meth...no chance to do anything except naughty words. With so much blabber here always bitching about VEM ( will that go to the star room?) (if it does it rhymes with itching)...again I say VEM. I knew about VEM at times like when the wedge goes 187 yards or the flop goes left...that VEM. I think this is the new improved sneaky VEM that can always be blamed on your PC....

  Wrong, I experienced it once before when I was getting in my car after a hockey game, he had a gun and it was called a "Robbery" ....

  He said "give me ur money"______I said " just have credit cards man"_____ He "give me the bracelet and ring then MF'er"_____I "you can have the bracelet but you'll have to kill me for the ring MF'er"____ he fired a shot and I couldn't get the ring off fast enough to keep from messin my drawers, I guess he wasn't kidding!

   

  thanks for the fix SP, didn't even notice I typed mot## instead of mot##*

  Dan, yes, I agree. I'm saying that when I said it happened to me, members said I made a late hit, but like you, I attempted an intentional hook and that baby went bye bye. 

  Kia #7 approach....I have to watch every time. Many others, let me check my records -

  Kia #5...slices even when I hook, there are some exceptions. There are more, but we all make note.

  Had I gotten in the car 1st, the story line would have been different I assure you lol...

  Funny, it was on a parking lot with ppl. everywhere after a Blues game, I was thinking he would get nervous and book it butttttt....anyway the noise attracted the police and he didn't get a block away, and I got my stuff back a couple months later LOL

  I would like to say it was all part of my ingenious plan to foil the robbery but it wasn't and for 20 years every time my wife didn't agree with me it was something like, "Why did you get groceries there"______me "it was on the way"_____her "oh that was smart, their meat isn't as fresh, their prices are higher, Betty's husband Joe that cheated on her works there, that's about as smart as telling a robber to shoot you ya idiot"!!!!!
