Great White Shark Now Kvetching About The Greens

From an unbylined report courtesy of reader Tom, following Greg Norman's 70 to put him 13 back of Geoff Ogilvy.

"They're too slow for me," Norman said. "I'm a fast-green putter and I can't get the right line or the speed with them, so you're always fighting and you've got to hit the ball too hard to really get comfortable.

"They've got so much undulation, they can't get them too much quicker. If you got them any quicker, balls would be rolling into the water and balls rolling off the greens.

The 55-year-old Norman said the greens were not fit for an Australian Open.

"It's a problem if you're going to have a golf championship here," Norman said. "For the members, it's not. For the members, you're going to have to keep them pretty slow for them or they'd never get around here. But obviously someone's feeling good with it."

How dare them for not taking Greg's preference for fast greens into consideration!
