Presented annually since 1955, this award honors the working club professional whose total contributions to the game best exemplify the complete PGA Professional. Special emphasis is placed on performance and achievement over the past five years, or specifically in the following categories: overall performance as a PGA Professional at his\/her facility, service to the Illinois PGA and the Association, leadership ability, image and ability to inspire fellow PGA Professionals, and the promotion of golf.<\/p>\n<p>Gumbach is the Head PGA Professional at River Forest Country Club in Elmhurst, Ill. where he has worked for the past 25 years. He grew up in Binghamton, NY, a few hours north of New York City, where his father introduced him to the game. After high school graduation, Gumbach decided to pursue a career in the golf business and attended New Mexico State University where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and majored in Marketing as part of the Professional Golf Management (PGM) program. Following college graduation in 1994, Gumbach returned to Chicago, where he had interned at Itasca Country Club the summer before, to work for PGA Professional Terry Russell at River Forest Country Club, and he&rsquo;s still there going strong. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very humbled and honored to be recognized by my peers as the Illinois Section Golf Professional of the Year,&rdquo; said Gumbach. &ldquo;This is certainly not a solo effort and I have a number of people including my parents, family, friends, members, mentors and fellow golf professionals to thank for their support and encouragement over the years. I really enjoy the game and the camaraderie being involved in all aspects it brings. My passion for the game and the desire to be engaged has been the driving force during my career.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Gumbach has been deeply involved in Illinois Section leadership having officially started board service in 2007 when he was on the Tournament Committee. He subsequently held numerous positions during the next six years prior to being elected as the 25<sup>th<\/sup> Section President in 2013. He was also named Assistant Professional of the Year in 1999 and is currently the only Section professional to have won both the Assistant Professional and Professional of the Year awards. Perhaps his greatest achievement to date has been co-founding and co-chairing the Illinois PGA Foundation Birdies for Charity fundraising program which has raised nearly $1.5 million in just eight years for local children&rsquo;s charities. It&rsquo;s the single longest running fundraiser the Section and Foundation has ever supported and has made a tremendous impact in the lives of children via several key benefitting charities including the Illinois PGA Foundation, where Gumbach has also served on the board for the past five years and is now an officer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Central Illinois Chapter is on The Map<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Illinois PGA Section also includes the Central Illinois PGA Chapter (CIPGA) which is comprised of 80 golf professionals in the area south of I-80 and in the middle part of the state.
