Sammy Mulrain Honored as Lowcountry Golf Course Owners Association 2009 Employee of the Year
(HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.) Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is pleased to announce that the Lowcountry Golf Course Owners Association recently named Mandas "Sammy" Mulrain as the 2009 Employee of the Year.
At 93, Mulrain has been employed at Palmetto Dunes for nearly 30 years, working every Thursday as a starter. With an impeccable work ethic, he has never arrived late or missed one of his shifts for three decades.
Mulrain is friendly, detail-oriented and generous, always involving himself with different fundraisers and charitable events around Hilton Head Island. He even makes it a habit to search for lost golf balls on his own time, donating them to a local church for their use in fundraising events.
"Sammy is truly an inspiration to everyone who knows him," said Brad Marra, director of golf at Palmetto Dunes. "He's a delight to work with and is quite deserving of this honor."
In his former life, Mulrain has experienced some unforgettable moments. Some of them include storming Normandy during World War II and playing baseball with Phil Rizzuto. An avid traveler, he lived overseas for part of his life and then returned to the United States, managing to move around quite a bit before settling in Hilton Head. His generosity and appetite for life is evident in all that he does, contributing to an exciting experience for anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Mulrain.
When not offering his time to help others in any way that he can, Mulrain continues his work at Palmetto Dunes as a starter, giving the guests and staff a reason to smile.
