CARRICK AT LOCH LOMOND
POST FOR ALAN TAIT
Alan Tait, Tartan Tour Order of Merit winner in 1996 but an administrative PGA professional in recent years, has been appointed head professional at The Carrick at Loch Lomond, the new course which is due to be opened in May with a PGA EuroPro Tour event.
Tait showed his skills early as an amateur and won the Doug Sanders world boys' championship at the Aberdeen Links in the 1980s and the Scottish boys' title at Dunbar in 1986 (beating Euan McIntosh of Turnhouse in the final) before losing to Alan Thomson from Ayrshire in the final of the Scottish amateur championship at Lossiemouth in 1989.
The beaten semi-finalists that year, by the way, were Duncan Weir, now the R&A's Golf Development Officer, and Colin Dalgleish, the new Walker Cup captain.
Alan Tait played for Scotland from 1987 through to 1989 before turning professional.
Latterly, he was director of golf at the Westerwood Hotel Golf & Country Club, Cumbernauld but five months ago the enterprise's new owners made him redundant.
"Westerwood were great to me for seven years and I wish them all the very best. But I honestly believe I'm now going to one of the best jobs in the country," says 37-year-old Alan who still holds the Carnoustie championship course record of 64 jointly with Colin Montgomerie.
