NEWS RELEASE
Sam Oliver joins
Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club’s executive team in the newly created role of Director of Golf
and Leisure.
Sam joins the 4-star resort from Brocket
Hall in Hertfordshire and brings with him a wealth of industry experience,
including roles with Slaley Hall in Northumberland, Taylormade Adidas, and
Alfred Dunhill.
Speaking about his return north, Sam said:
“I’m
really excited about the opportunity of working at Dalmahoy in this new
role. The resort is first class, with
two excellent golf courses, superb practice facilities and a luxurious leisure
club as well.”
Originally from Stocksfield,
Northumberland, Sam was introduced to golf by his grandfather, Tommy Lowdon, a
former Stocksfield captain/champion.
He
represented England schoolboys, after becoming the youngest Stocksfield club
champion at just 18 years old, and was part of a talented crop of youngsters to
have emerged from the club, including former County Champion (and now PGA
Professional) Andy Paisley, European Tour Player Chris Paisley and 2017 PGA Cup
Professional Chris McDonnell.
Sam’s talent, working alongside Dalmahoy’s
excellent facilities, including the James Braid Championship course, which
played host to the Solheim Cup in 1992 and Scottish Seniors Open in 2006/7,
promises exciting opportunities for the future.
Sam commented:
“It’s
an exciting time to be at Dalmahoy with it recently becoming an independent
hotel and country club.
"There is real
appetite to try new things to create the best experience possible for our
customers tapping into the rich Scottish heritage and I’m really looking
forward to driving things forward.”
