OVERSEAS COMPETITORS SING PRAISES OF CARNOUSTIE COUNTRY
Tenth Anniversary Celebrations for
Carnoustie Country Classic 2014
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED
BY Carnoustie Country
The
Carnoustie Country Classic celebrated its tenth anniversary by welcoming 144
golfers from all over the world play on four of Scotland’s top links courses -
Carnoustie Championship, Monifieth Medal, Panmure Medal and Montrose Medal.
After four
days of highly-competitive and enjoyable golf, Marshal Taylor from Dayton Golf and Country Club in the USA was named the overall winner and presented with
the Carnoustie Country Classic crystal trophy, as well as the special 10th
Anniversary Golden Putter.
“This is my eighth
year of competing in the Carnoustie Country Classic so it’s wonderful to
finally have won, especially in such a significant year,” said Marshal.
“The Carnoustie
Country Classic is a very good tournament with a fantastic vibe where I always
meet great people – I’ll be back!”
The top Senior
was Peter Rooney from Walsall Golf Club, while Elli Yum from New Jersey’s
Galloping Hills Golf Club won the Ladies Competition.
“This is my first time in
Scotland and I’ve enjoyed every minute, even the Scottish weather, which
certainly didn’t co-operate when I was playing at Carnoustie Championship,” laughed
Elli.
Over the last
ten years, the Carnoustie Country Classic has established a worldwide reputation
for its excellent courses, good organisation and friendly atmosphere. As a
result, this year, the four-day tournament was fully booked and attracted a truly
international field, with golfers competing from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
Switzerland, the UK and the USA.
“The courses are
all different and quite challenging – and so much fun to play,” said first-time
competitor Freddy Tzimieri from Germany. “We’ve had an unbelievably good week
of golf.”
American radio
host Michael Williams revealed that he’d been amazed by the history of the
courses he played during the Carnoustie Country Classic. “It gave me such a
thrill to discover golf was being played on Montrose Links when Mary Queen of
Scots was around,” said Michael, who will be devoting one of his CBS Radio shows
to his trip to Carnoustie Country, which covers the 34 courses within a
40-minute drive of Carnoustie Championship.
“I’ll be talking
about playing golf in Carnoustie Country but I’ll also be explaining how much
more there is to see and do in this magnificent part of Scotland. I can’t wait to
return.”
