THE Carrick golf course has renewed its sponsorship agreement with 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie for the 2010 season.

It will be third campaign in a row that the five-star resort has enjoyed the backing of the multiple European tour winner.

The agreement will see Lawrie sporting The Carrick’s name and logo on his golf bag throughout the season, as well being announced as the resort’s touring professional as he competes on the European Tour’s international schedule throughout 2010.

Ross Whitfield, The Carrick’s director of golf and estates, said: “Paul has been a fantastic ambassador for the resort in the past two seasons and we are delighted to continue our support of him in 2010.

“As well as being one of the most talented golfers Scotland has produced, Paul's personality embodies the values of the resort and we feel he is the perfect person to represent the class and quality of the resort across the world. We wish him every success in the coming season."

Paul added: “I would like to thank The Carrick on Loch Lomond for their continued support.

“I have been very proud to be associated with such a high quality resort over the previous two seasons and I look forward to continuing to promote the golf course and hotel across the world.”
