The Carrick 2 Days 2025

A Memorable Two-Day Golf Event at The Carrick, Loch Lomond – Rain, Resilience, and Rewards

The scenic Carrick Golf Course at Loch Lomond played host to a fantastic two-day golfing spectacle that saw overcast skies give way to sunshine, spirited competition, and a host of well-earned prizes. Despite a soggy start on Day 1, players displayed remarkable resilience and good humour as they tackled one of Scotland’s most picturesque yet challenging courses.

Day One – Wet Start, Strong Performances

The opening day was greeted with traditional Scottish weather – damp, breezy, and a true test of patience and perseverance. But as is often the case in golf, the tougher the challenge, the sweeter the reward.

Taking 1st place with clinical consistency were John Gray & Mark Lockhart, earning a £150 MGPT voucher. Hot on their heels in 2nd place, and clearly not letting the rain dampen their form, were Martin McGillivray & Gavin Fraser (£100 voucher). Ian and Sharon Rich claimed 3rd, followed by S. Kerrigan & William Jeffrey in 4th – who also secured 1st in the 4-Hole Competition, walking away with another £100 MGPT voucher.

The Sterry duo (Ty & Jasen) showcased their elite ball-striking by winning 1st Gross, while James Doodson & Roger Webster took home 2nd Gross.

Special shoutouts go to:

• Martin McGillivray – Men’s Longest Drive

• Louise Emberson – Ladies’ Longest Drive

• Craig Benton – Nearest the Pin

• Damian Jones – Best Dressed (and deservedly so!)

Day Two – Sunshine and Sharp Golf

Thankfully, the Scottish skies took pity on Day Two, offering drier fairways and more forgiving conditions. With improved weather came improved scores and another thrilling day of golf.

Stuart Young & Scott Osborne surged to the top, claiming 1st place and £150 in MGPT vouchers. Simon Gaskell & Keith Davidson climbed into 2nd, with a solid round from John Gray & Mark Lockhart putting them back on the leaderboard in 3rd.

Kevin Riddell & Martyn Davies took the spotlight in the Gross category, with Martin McGillivray & Gavin Fraser once again securing 2nd Gross, demonstrating excellent form over both days.

Notable winners included:

• Mark Rabone – Men’s Longest Drive

• Jacqueline Terry – Ladies’ Longest Drive

• Jeremy Bradburn – Nearest the Pin

• David Sterry – Best Dressed (raising the bar from Day One!)
