Bert MacKay
Head Professional
A member of staff at Loch Lomond Golf Club for nine years.
Pro Golfer
I started at Loch Lomond as an Assistant Professional, and was then promoted to Tournament Director, before becoming Golf Operations Manager. I am in charge of the operations team at Loch Lomond including the retail, golf, and parking. The locker room, starter, and ranger staff all report to me. I also run high profile events at home and abroad, such as Colin Montgomerie's wedding.
It’s interesting to deal with the specific requests from our members. Some only play with certain caddies, others are very specific about their locker position. We have to cater for the members’ every need.
One of the perks of my job is the opportunity for travel - in the last year I have visited Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and Chicago, and I am just about to go out to Florida again. Despite this, Loch Lomond is still the best golf course I’ve played in the whole world.
