A 50/50 raffle was held at the Multi-chapter event last week.
Before the winning number was called, Deb Cannon casually declared she would decline the winnings and ask that they be donated to The First Tee.

And she won!!!
We have forwarded the $1,190 from the Multi-Chapter 50/50 raffle to The First Tee of Greater St. Louis. Deb, your generous spirit is an example for all of us.
This particular act is something above and beyond!
We are proud to call you Chapter member, friend, and, of course, awesome golfer!

LPGA Amateurs St. Louis Chapter COVID Policy |

LPGA Amateurs STL's priority is the health and safety of our members and those around us. We ask that you follow these recommendations at our Chapter events:
- Always follow the current local governmental authority directives and CDC recommendations as well as the course’s requirements. If you choose to participate in any LPGA Amateurs’ sponsored events, you accept the responsibility to comply with applicable directives for your locale as well as the location of the LPGA Amateurs event to ensure that your participation is both permitted and conducted in a safe and healthy manner for yourself and others.
- Do NOT participate if you have any Covid symptoms, or if you have been exposed to or tested positive for Covid in the past 14 days.
- If you are unvaccinated, make that known, if asked, to those you will be riding or playing with to avoid additional risk to those with health concerns.
- Those with health risks to themselves or family should take additional precautions as they deem necessary.
- Cart partners and those in your playing group should agree on extra precautions if someone in the group has health issues or concerns so everyone can feel safe.
