  I've ranted about this (and wind but that's another story).  I don't think it is "VEM", but rather a random deviation calculation.  Personally, I think they have the possible deviations set too high.

  It isn't that the wind "goes away", or that the ball is uncannily attracted to water per se.  The deviation pushes the shot so offline that the wind can't blow it back.  Or alternatively, a downwind shot goes "normal" distance, or a headwind shot goes "normal" distance seemingly unaffected by the wind.

  As someone who once upon a time did Applied Mathematics, my gut and my head tell me they've got the extreme's set too high.  It isn't a bug, rather a bad formula.  Average wise they probably get what they want - plus or minus a few yards here and there.  But sometimes the deviation is so extreme that a perfectly judged and dinged shot can miss the mark by an absurd amount.

  Agreed YJ and Andyson.

  What we need is an option for those holes to swap to starter balls...

  your influences on shots these days have gone to far, stop using your pathetic VEM on players shots, let us play in peace.

  Perhaps you should frequent a chess or poker website instead of subjecting yourself to this type of torment. At least with an online chess site you know that the computer is smarter than you and losing is the "norm". On line poker will give you the same kind of satisfaction, knowing full well that you will never get the card you need.

  The results are the same, YOU LOSE!  Just like you do here, but there is no "VEM" or influence on the outcome of your play to blame.

  Maybe you just are not very good at this game. Please, quit crying, your a grown whatever.

  PS, just checked your stats, and you are better than 90 percent of the players on this site, including me. Damn it. Perhaps I should look into online chess, LOL.

  Foot in mouth and have a nice day.

  Sole mate my luverr. ( That's westcountry dialect btw)

  And to the fellow who thought it a serious proposition to swap balls where we thought we might lose a paid for ball  -  it wasn't. And judging by Priestess' likkle smiley, I don't suppose she thought it was either. Sheesh..men lol :-)
