Dave Gumlia - M Club Hall of Fame

Dave Gumlia
Golf (1963-65)
HOF Class of 2016

It had been 25 years since the Gophers captured the Big Ten championship in men's golf before Gumlia led the team to the title in 1963, the same year he earned the first of his two All-America honors. Gumlia finished as the conference's runner-up that season, the beginning of three consecutive second-place finishes at the Big Ten tournament as an individual. In addition to his consistency at the conference level, Gumlia also was the first Gopher golfer to become a two-time All-American ('63, '65).
