In the spring of this year, Heart of America Golf Course hired a new assistant superintendent. I would like to take this chance to introduce him.
Sam Marlin:
Sam grew up in Southwest Kansas in the small town of Sublette. There he picked up his passion for golf, which took him all the way to the college level and a little beyond. He plays in the occasional professional event when he gets a chance.
Sam's career in the golf course industry started in 2012. He worked a few seasons at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course, before eventually taking over as Superintendent at Cimarron Valley Golf Course. The 9 hole course near his hometown was failing and the two years Sam was at the helm brought it back from the brink of disaster. From there, Sam decided to move up to Kansas City, where is girlfriend was working and took our open assistant superintendent position. His experience from Buffalo Dunes to running his own 9-hole course has been very beneficial for us here and he has become a integral part of our operation.
If you don't see Sam on the golf course, which is where he spends the majority of his day working or golfing, you will most likely find him in his garage. Hes a tinkerer and spends free time working on his truck or small engines. He is also an avid hunter and fisherman.
So if you see Sam on the course make sure to say hello, he's probably the one with the shovel in his hand. Sam definitely fits in well at HOA and we are happy to have him.
