The Carrick on Loch Lomond to stage International Pairs World Final

NEWS RELEASE
The 2010 International Pairs World Final will be held at The Carrick on Loch Lomond as part of a new agreement between the world’s largest competition of its kind for club golfers and leading hotel group De Vere.
Ross Honey, founder and managing director of International Pairs, has finalised a deal with the hoteliers for them to become one of the event‘s chief sponsors.
In addition to The Carrick on Loch Lomond staging this year’s world final from October 6-8, the tournament’s regional finals will be hosted by De Vere venues across England, with the UK Final to be played at Wychwood Park in Cheshire in September.
De Vere has a long-standing relationship with golf having hosted numerous events on the European, Seniors and Ladies Tours since the 1990s and Honey believes the arrangement will signal a new chapter in International Pairs’s history.
Honey said: "To reach an agreement for De Vere to become our hotel partner is an exciting and major new development for International Pairs. Their name is synonymous with the game and some of the finest courses in the UK. At International Pairs, we pride ourselves on selecting top-class venues for our world final competitors and The Carrick on Loch Lomond is a perfect fit.
"The venue has quickly established itself as one of Scotland's outstanding new courses and it will not only provide an excellent test of golf for this year’s finalists, but is set against the breathtaking backdrop of Loch Lomond."
This year will be fourth in a row that Scotland has hosted the event but it will be the first time that it has been staged at The Carrick, overlooking the banks of Loch Lomond.The award-winning five-star venue is the flagship venue of De Vere’s 11 golfing destinations in the UK and has won a steady stream of accolades since it opened to widespread acclaim in November 2006.
The course, which was designed by renowned golf architect Doug Carrick, measures 7,068 yards from the championship tees and has already staged the Ladies European Tour’s De Vere Scottish Open in 2007 and 2008 and the PGA Cup - the equivalent of the Ryder Cup for PGA professionals - last autumn.
