Poulter Says Wentworth Changes Still Stink; Ernie Will Take It Lightly

Rob Hodgetts says Ian Poulter still isn't a fan of Ernie Els' redo of his redo that was an update of his first redo at Wentworth.

"It's not fun. I was here as a kid watching those great shots but you can't remember them now. We'll have to fill up the archive with some new ones."

Fun, schmun. This is about protecting ego's!

Poulter also criticised the 9th and 12th holes and said the changes on 17 made it impossible to go for the green in two. In the first round there was only one eagle made on each of the last two holes - by Jose Manuel Lara on the 17th and by Gregory Havret on the 18th.

"Some of the fun of the last few holes has been taken away," he said. "We can't get a sniff of 17. You can't finish eagle-eagle anymore."

He added: "They've got what they wanted. I'll speak freely. Many others will not."

Of course it doesn't matter since Ernie said earlier in the week that "if there’s criticism this year I will take it very lightly because I think the course is right where we want it now.”

I wonder what lightly means in Erniespeak?
