Craig Ronald, our Professional, is an ardent supporter of the Tartan Tour since he turned Pro.

In 1994 Craig won his European Tour Card. His talents thereafter flourished and, with hard work and dedication, he was deservedly rewarded with his first major Tour success in 1996 when he won the Sunderland Masters title. His carear continued to prosper and reached a new high when he won the Tartan Tour's Order of Merit in 1999.

Undoubtedly, Craig's greatest achievement was winning the Scottish Professional Golf Championship at Gleneagles, on the Centenary course, with a 25 foot birdie putt at the second play off hole , on a memorable August day 2004. His name is now proudly etched on the old trophy besides such names as John Panton, Brian Barnes, Bernard Gallacher, Sam Torrance and Paul Lawrie.

Craig, when interviewed, said "I am very happy with the position I am in at the club. I enjoy the club pro scene at Carluke" and "I've proved that I can still compete at the top level.

Carluke Golf Club is proud to have such a successfull talent looking after the interests of our members and the instruction of our Juniors.

Scott Pithie, our Assistant Professional, came through the ranks at Carluke Golf Club and achieved the ultimate success when he won the Senior Club Championship as a Junior in Season 2005. He has also represented Carluke playing in many tournaments and being selected for the County team.

Scott has now decided to join the Pro ranks and will do so under Craig Ronald here at Carluke. Craig says
"He is a welcome addition to our staff and looks forward to more success for him in the future."
