Discrimination claims[edit]

Seems to be an effort to whitewash this page of the discrimination case taken by the Equality Authority against the club. Please discuss on this page before removing properly cited and relevant information,thanks Demiurge (talk) 07:53, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The discrimination claims have again been removed by User:Cassidycolin. Can you explain here why you feel this fully-sourced, widely-reported and controversial policy of Portmarnock Golf Club is not relevant to the article before removing it again?

Quotations from professional golfers[edit]

I have removed the below section entirely as I do not think its hugely relevant and reads as a promotion almost.Financefactz (talk) 13:43, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pádraig Harrington - “Portmarnock is the fairest links I have ever played, which is unusual because links golf by its very nature can be unfair. It is almost perfectly balanced in that it is both challenging and demanding for every level of golfer.....as stern an exam as a professional could wish for from the back tees, and an equally strict test for the more modest player off the medal tees. ”
  • Tiger Woods - “One of the most enjoyable links courses I have had an opportunity to play”
  • Tom Watson - “There are no tricks or nasty surprises, only an honest, albeit searching test of shot making skills.”
  • Seve Ballesteros - “I always enjoy my time in Ireland but in particular playing links golf at fantastic links courses like Portmarnock”
  • Arnold Palmer - “Sam Sneed and I played in the Canada Cup at Portmarnock in 1961 and I recall saying to Sam on the way home that every aspect of our games was examined that week”
  • Phil Mickelson - “I had the opportunity and play in the 1991 Walker Cup at Portmarnock Golf Club and it was one of the great highlights of my Amateur days not only to represent the USA but also to enjoy the challenge of such a magnificent links course”
  • Rory McIlroy - “I always love playing Portmarnock Golf Club; one of the world’s greatest links courses in my view”
  • Harry Bradshaw - “It was the fairest golf course that I have ever ever played, Portmarnock”
