Sam Brewer arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1968 and before he finished, left with three All-America honors and played a large role in the school's first national championship.
A transfer from Wake Forest, Sam helped lead the Camels to three-straight NAIA national tournament appearances and top honors in 1970.
Under the direction of coaches Danny Roberts and Hargrove Davis, Brewer and his teammates established a golf dynasty in Buies Creek – even before Keith Hills golf club was built in 1974 – and the athletic teams transitioned to the Division I ranks.
Following graduation, Sam worked as a golf professional for four decades – retiring in 2015 as director of golf at North Ridge Country Club.
Through the years, Sam has stayed in close contact with his former teammates, getting together for regular rounds of golf and other social events.
In the next installment of Tales from the Creek, Campbell Hall of Fame member Sam Brewer talks with Stan Cole about growing up in Wake Forest, taking up the game, his path to Campbell, working in the profession, and more.
