Solheim Cup

Can’t help but think it belittles the progress they’re trying to make. So much is said about women’s golf should be taken as seriously as the men’s but then they do this sort of thing to manufacture an atmosphere.
Agreed.
Although the men’s game, especially the Ryder Cup, is going too much that way as well, for my liking

Not only does it belittle the progress, it actually puts people off.
 
AVD takes it back two club lengths on the tee to get the perfect distance then hits it two club lengths short. Why don’t the commentators make that point?

My daughter asked me why she made the hole longer if she was too short :LOL:

I think they are really trying to big her up. I mean her golf was impressive, but I think she had 4 birdies and her partner had 3, yet they made it sound like it was a one woman sow.
 
I hate wearing a cap or even being able to feel the scorecard in my back pocket; I have no idea how Salas can play golf wearing huge ear muffs and what looks like a bumbag?!

I was just gonna post this. We spent 100 pages talking about socks and she turns up like that. Got to say some of the USA attire is shocking.
 
AVD caused that missed putt, ball wasn't even moving yet she made it a huge issue.

Doesn't look that windy either.

Yep she was always going to miss it after all that ridiculous dicking about!!

They keep talking about a “howling wind” then saying it’s 12/13mph gusting to 20!? That’s not “howling” where I live and play golf!!!

Looking at Salas it must be -25 as well.:oops:
 
Jamie Spence was just saying he reckoned gusts were up to 40.
Forecasts show 16-18 winds with gusts in the high 30's
And, at the end of the day, we all feel the cold differently.
Temperatures in the low teens with a gusty wind.....
Don't see many spectators in shorts and a tee shirt...
 
I'm playing at 1245 today. 1700 is showing 40 mph winds. Hopefully it's not slow!!!!

20mph winds is tough to be fair. Just don't think her putt merited her reaction/farting about.

Law can't putt.
 
I wouldn't want to pick a fight with Salas, she looks a real unit, especially with all that clobber on.
I'd love to play there in that weather, a proper test of golf.
AVD's game seems to be heading south ............... at speed! I hope she can get it together soon.
