Samuel Leonard King (27 March 1911 – 24 February 2003[1]) was an English professional golfer,[2] best known for playing on three Ryder Cup teams.
King was born in Sevenoaks, Kent, England, a short distance from the Knole Golf Club, and lived there most of his life.
By 1929, he was the assistant club professional, and began playing in local and national tournaments.
He had qualified for the 1939 team, but the event was cancelled after the outbreak of World War II.
King became the head professional at Knole Golf Club in 1955, and later won the PGA Seniors Championship in both 1961 and 1962.
