The author makes an appeal to authority with the quote from Matthew Southgate about the difficulty of the course. He also uses inflammatory rhetoric in describing the conditions as 'brutal' and 'survival golf'.
"It was crosswinds everywhere and pins on the same side where the wind was coming from. It's just so, so difficult. It was like survival golf really."
