| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles The Carrick Golf Club in Loch Lomond, Scotland. States that the Ladies European Tour "has selected The Carrick as the venue for the return of the Scottish Ladies Open after an absence of 12 years." Explains that "the course takes its name from the man who designed it, but also has links to Robert the Bruce - once the third Earl of Carrick." Mentions that the land is "a very gravelly, free-draining site apart from a couple of holes where [the architects] did some major drainage work." States that "as well as playability, the course needed to offer a local flavour and therefore incorporates a number of traditional Scottish elements including revetted bunkers and gorse." Reports that "a recycling wash-off system has been installed by supplier Waste2Water to remove any risk of potential contamination arising from the day-to-day activities of the golf facility." Suggests that "while the signature holes will undoubtedly be those bordering the loch's edge, the 14th defines The Carrick. Measuring 194 yards from the back tees, the hole drops sixty feet to a large green surrounded by four bunkers." Concludes that "drainage will be a nuisance for The Carrick's team but it shouldn't detract from the pleasure of playing a course that has been fantastically routed to combine incredible views with a formidable test of golf." |
