WIN A ROUND OF GOLF WITH SAM TORRANCE

Visitors to the London Golf Show in April will stand a chance of winning a round of golf with Ryder Cup-winning captain Sam Torrance OBE.
The European Tour legend – who won 21 titles over three decades – is an ambassador for VisitScotland, and as part of the national tourism organisation’s participation in the show it will be running a competition to win a once-in-a-lifetime prize.
The winner of the competition will play in a dream fourball at the new, luxurious Championship Carrick course at Loch Lomond – home to The Ladies Scottish Open - in September, with Torrance and the European Tour pro and former Walker Cup player Steven O’Hara.
They will also enjoy two nights’ dinner, bed and breakfast at the picture postcard, five-star, De Vere Cameron House, on the shores of Loch Lomond.
The course, which opens this year, is one of the eagerly-awaited new builds, with Loch Lomond providing a stunning backdrop to many of the holes.
To enter this fantastic competition, visitors to the London Golf Show merely need to visit the Scotland Home of Golf stand and fill in an entry form.
The competition’s terms and conditions are available upon request from VisitScotland.
The London Golf Show 2007 returns to ExCeL, from April 26-29, with another European Ryder Cup hero, David Howell, making an appearance.
There will also be Europe’s largest golf retail store courtesy of the UK’s No 1 retailer, American Golf; a 30-bay driving range; the chance to go head-to-head on the chipping green with celebrities; the opportunity to sink a 100ft putt; the iconic floating green; myriad game-improvement gadgets; a fashion show; plus a much bigger area dedicated to junior golf with free coaching, fun and games and prizes.
What’s more, two juniors go free with every paying adult…
