Dear Massachusetts Chapter Members,

It is with great pride that I announce the 2025 Massachusetts Chapter Award Winners, a group of dedicated professionals who have made a lasting impact on their clubs, their communities, and the game of golf. This year, we are especially honored to recognize David Sibley, PGA of Gannon Municipal Golf Couse as the 2025 Golf Professional of the Year.

David’s commitment to his facility, his members, and our Chapter is truly remarkable. As the Head Professional at Gannon, David has worked tirelessly to ensure that every golfer, whether a public guest or a seasonal member, feels part of the Gannon family. His philosophy centers on providing the best possible experience every day—navigating the unique challenges of a busy municipal course with professionalism, leadership, and an unwavering passion for the game.

Beyond his daily responsibilities, David has been an invaluable leader within the Massachusetts Chapter, serving on the Chapter Board for the past six years, and currently serving as our Honorary President. During his time on the board, he has been instrumental in the success of the newly founded Massachusetts Chapter Scholarship.

David’s influence extends well beyond Gannon. His Summer Junior Golf Clinic introduces children from the city of Lynn and beyond to the game of golf, offering free instruction and on-course play. He also led a Lynn Elementary School introduction to golf series, bringing students to the course to experience the game firsthand. Through these efforts, David has helped open the door to golf for countless young players, ensuring a bright future for the sport.

Perhaps the greatest testament to David’s impact is the deep respect he has earned from his peers, staff, and members. Whether mentoring young professionals, fostering community engagement, or setting an example through his service, he embodies what it means to be a Golf Professional of the Year.

In addition to celebrating David’s incredible contributions, we recognize the outstanding achievements of the following award winners:

Please join me in celebrating these outstanding professionals throughout the 2025 season and we look forward to officially honoring them at the 2025 Awards Banquet this fall.

Respectfully,

Peter Hulbert, PGA
