shing1:so is it possible or not?
This is difficult for me given my starting point but a couple of things. Assuming this would work then I wouldn't go for a practice round as that may not count. I'm not sure what averages you are referring to as most of the people you are talking about are well saturated.
I would suggest a rr or even better a tournament you don't care about and score 80, perhaps more than once.
shing1: all im saying is if i/we could turn the VEM off somehow, i/we wouldnt have the shots that spoil rds, i/we would be playing at our own ability all the time!!!
You are right, there would be times when neither vem should be having an effect. Many of us aren't improving or getting worse and probably wouldn't see it at all now. Also as it's described it shouldn't ever go straight from positive to negative, there should be a period of niether.
Back to the question and what I honestly think. I reckon it is possible but few will like or believe me on how.
To me there is no logical way the game is doing what people describe. What happens is we do everything right for nine holes and then get unlucky and hit the edge of the circle of precision at just the wrong time or do something wrong; accidently change clubs, move the marker wrong, mind fart on wind direcetion :-)...any number of possibilities, and then think vem. It seems many "know" vem will ruin the rest of the round so it does, we play too fast, without the previous attention etc as we "know" what's going to happen anyway. So it does.
If we could just compartmentalise, think along the lines of "I was unlucky there" or "I may not be sure how but I messed up that shot/hole but I'll concentrate better from now," rather than "I thought it was going too well, now vem is going to mess me up" I think the rest of the round would go better.
I know it's not that easy and I can't do it, although I get down on how bad at the game I am/how stupid the shot was rather than vem but the result is the same.
