  @TP-Ever have one of those rounds where you birdie the first hole and then struggle to save par the rest of the round?  ;-)

  Absolutely!

  Not long ago at all I birdied the first THREE holes and finished 3 under.........

  ON AN EIGHTEEN HOLE ROUND

  My layperson's thinking about this is that this is exactly how VEM affects a ranked game. You start off on one plateau and depending on how you do, that plateau changes. Score well to start and the game tightens up. Hack your way to a start and it seems to finish strong, like the game loosens up on you. 

  And then there's those rounds where VEM takes a break and you shoot 18 under.  LOL
