This is exactly correct. I personally feel that the yelling thing should be a T. Seems clearly unsporting to me. But the people that I work for and who teach me say that it is accepted -- along the lines of the people here who say "it's not golf" -- and not to make myself the focal point by calling something that nobody else does.
