"Professional golf is not about length. It is about firm greens."
/Paul McGinley questioned the Adare Manor/Irish Open setup, particularly some of the back tees, then posted a round in the sixties and was quoted in an unbylined Irish Independent's piece justifying his comments.
"I stand by what I said," McGinley insisted. "The greens were softer today, making the course play easier. Professional golf is not about length. It is about firm greens. That's what makes it tough for us. We can control the ball in the air but once it hits the ground and is rolling it's out of our control.
By the way, that's where they are playing the Irish Open? I look like something in Palm Desert.
