Inaugural Inductee - Legend of the Links – 1992
Ed Posh was the first Head Golf Professional at the Village Links. He developed an extensive schedule of golf events that was unique in public golf. He started the Glen Ellyn Open in 1967, and later added the Junior Championship, the Husband-Wife championship and the Senior Championship. He developed series of events for Mixed Couples, Juniors, Seniors Over 60, and Permanent Time Players. The Village Links Junior Lesson Program, started in 1967, has grown to be the largest such program in the Chicago area.
Ed always went out of his way to make all visitors to the Village Links feel welcome. He made a great effort to meet as many people as possible, and, as a result, knows literally thousands of Village Links visitors by name. Ed has been a personal ambassador of goodwill, whose name has been synonymous with the Village Links.
In 1992, Ed became the inaugural inductee into the Legends of the Links. In October 1995 he retired as Head Golf Professional. He remains associated with the Village Links as Golf Professional Emeritus and works tirelessly on behalf of the Ed Posh Scholarship Fund.
