Is Paul Casey turning into a bloody moaner or what?

Following on from yet more comments from Casey moaning about another golf course is he worth listening to or is just becoming a bit of a spoilt moaner?

He moaned about the reworked Wentworth design of Ernie Ells and now he is moaning about the greens on Monty's course in Bahrain. He may be right the green's may be to severe but everyone is playing the same course and the same greens, so surely it is a fair test of golf. I think he should just get on with it.

Also Considering Hanson is currently at 12 under and Himenez is knocking the putts in with a wedge, has he really got much of a leg to stand on? Maybe this comes from his time playing target golf on a lot of boring long flat American courses, and his inability to adapt to anything a bit different.

It also seems a little bit disrespectful towards the established pro's who have designed them to be so public in his criticism? Maybe he has still got a problem with Monty over the non selection or maybe it's just jealousy because no one has asked him to design a course.

Maybe he has just got my back up and I’m ranting on a bit but I’m not one for sportsmen making excuses, my boss wouldn’t accept it if one of the structures I designed fell over and I blamed it on the complexity of the job.

I don't blame him for moaning about the greens if by making them difficult, it takes away some of the skill needed to hit them in the first place.

The modern game is entirely dependant on the skill of the putting stroke, not at all by the shotmaking.

A return to the days when tee shots needed some thought and long second shots were always the order of the day which brought the best ball strikers to the fore, is what is needed for the viewer.

I cant see why hes moaning about the greens being to severe, when the last i looked the cut was at 2 under par, if he thinks there too difficult god help him when he plays the Masters.
