Women's NCAA screaming - UNWATCHABLE!

[3 Putt Pete]

What's with all the constant loud screaming? It sounds like a horror movie. It's unwatchable.

Only 74 more vacuous posts and you'll be eligible to play in the BST folder. 🙄

I guess since they miss 50% of the green are in the weeds constantly, hitting a green is worth loud screaming about.

Trying watching any women's college sport. They all have an abundance of yelling. Softball would be the champion of this.

Cheering and yelling is fine. Its the constant ear piecing shrieking. Same sound they would make if an intruder kicked in the door to their house.

Curious that you chose the words screaming and shrieking when describing women.

And that penalty at the end…golfs rules are truly dumb…

[Hawkeye77]

Been watching it for days, great play and good golf. 
 

Other than celebrations, which are spontaneous and justifiably emotional, the golf was focused and intense. 
 

Rules violation was justified, stuff happens. 
 

Didn’t see a thread on the tourney and didn’t want “women shrieking and are annoying” and “rules are dumb” to be the poor takes on a terrific event.

Gutsy performance by Oregon.  Looked like it was going be a blowout for Stanford. Didn't mind the screaming from the ladies.  Was more annoyed with the duck whistle.

 

Was really impressed with Emilia Migliaccio.  She seemed a natural while walking the course and doing the post match interviews.  She should take over Amanda Blumenherst's job on GC if she decides to pursue broadcasting in the future.

She was really good - quite a few people she could replace whether man or woman right now and I’d predict a long future.

I didn’t get the waving after they finished a hole. Was it to tell the next player how they did or that you can get ready to hit.

I thought the snow had all melted. Why don't you just go out and play golf?

[llewol007]

It’s like an outsider looking in and not understanding what kind of pressure the players are under to perform not only for themselves but for their teammates and school. Looks off putting but I’m betting if you had a daughter or teammate or are one of the coaches, you would be yelling. I would 😜

I thought it was great. watching right now at 6am with a repeat..

The rule is dumb. You accidentally run over your ball in the thick rough and get penalized? You probably have a worse lie now. That defines dumb.

Facts matter. 
 

She ran over her opponent’s ball. And the lie is irrelevant because it would be put back as it should have been. 
 

Some good reasons in match play not to have running over, stepping on, contact with the other player’s ball simply be a free pass because it was “accidental” vs. how it is treated in stroke play. Just have to think about it a bit.

I enjoyed watching the tournament...I am a big fan of match play. They're still kids, they wear their excitement on their sleeves. No harm, no foul. 

[postfold]

I've watched everything except the championship (which I'm watching right now in fact) and can't say that I have noted any screaming or yelling outside the usual fandom of a competitive event.

 

Love watching this event every year.

Watch on mute or turn it off. Use one of those few brain cells that you used to turn on your PC or phone when you posted.

That’s because outside of appropriate celebration when there was a team victory during the match play there wasn’t any - unfortunately just an anti-women troll job.

Why do the womens match play always end up with painted faces? Like yeah I get they are trying to differentiate it from the mens game, but it just seems silly and childish with the ribbons, stickers, and face painting.

It was reported she ran over her own ball not zhang’s. At least I read it that way. 
 

“It all came down to Stanford's Rose Zhang and Oregon's Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen on hole 17 where Zhang was up 2. Zhang was able to close out Kibsgaard on 17 to win the national title. On that final hole, Kibsgaard was assessed a stroke-penalty for her push cart rolling over her ball prior to her second stroke. That gave Zhang a bit of breathing room in order to close it out.”

 

If I’m wrong don’t have to be such a snark about it

It's a team game.  They do team things.  They're also young and are having fun in a competitive environment.  Athletes in different sports do similar things, this just happens to be prevalent in women's college golf.

 

I will now get off your lawn.

A few posters on here don't seem to realize that they are watching young college girls who are having fun.

I fear for the future of the human race.

Wasn’t intended as snarky. No mention of the source of the misinformation before. But media was definitely sloppy in the reporting.

Yes, already posted. 
 

The reporter got it wrong if he intended to suggest she didn’t run over Rose’s ball - so either written poorly or a mistake.

In the midst of the PGA vs. LIV war, the women are kinda forgotten.  The Curtis Cup is starting tomorrow.  Team USA looks pretty stacked.
