Aussie golfer Cameron Smith has taken a major swipe at powerbrokers for the Kingston Heath Golf Club after his Wednesday morning pro-am ahead of the Australian Open.

Melbourne has copped heavy rain in recent days, with Kingston Heath not playing firm and fast as a result.

However, Smith labelled the weather as a “bullshit excuse” for how the course is playing.

“I’ve played down here at Kingston Heath in (the 2013) Aussie Masters, and I’ve told this story a lot actually, where I was allowing 25-30 metres of run out with a pitching wedge which is a lot,” he told media on Wednesday.

“Usually around the world you’re trying to take spin off, make sure it doesn’t spin back too much. I think when you get a place like this, where it’s meant to play like that, you have to create spin and create shots to get close to pins which is what everyone loves.

“The weather down here the last couple of weeks has been pretty good, I know they got some rain over the weekend and again this morning, but I’ve played down here in rain before and it’s still been like that the next day.

“So, I think that’s a bullshit excuse, to be honest. I think it’s been prepared like this for a reason and it’s now how these golf courses are meant to be played.”

Smith comes into the tournament chasing his maiden Australian Open title and played the pro-am with former prime minister Scott Morrison.

The 2022 British Open winner was not happy with what he experienced, describing it as “disappointing”.

“It seems there’s been been lot of water and it’s not exactly what I was expecting,” he said.

“The course(s) are in great condition but playing so much different to how they’re designed and how they’re meant to be played, which is pretty disappointing.

“I had been keeping eye on weather here and I was really excited last week – to play a really firm and fast (Melbourne) Sandbelt.

“It’s something that my teammates and I this year spoke about. We love coming down here and playing these events because the golf courses (are firm and fast) and it’s just not going to play like that.

“It’s going to play more like an American golf course, kind of target golf.”
