Sam moved to the east bay in May of 1993 beginning a four-year stay at Las Positas Golf Course. Sam developed as an instructor during those years and attained PGA membership in September of 1995. Following his years at Las Positas, Sam moved to Ruby Hill Golf Club where he spent 6 ½ years, becoming the Head Professional in 2000.
