CHAPTER STAFF HONORED BY LPGA AND PGA

The Ladies Professional Golf Association recently selected the recipients of their annual Junior Golf Leadership awards. Congratulations to Chapter Outreach and Special Programs Director, Connie Capanegra (pictured above left) for receiving the 2019 Southeast Section Junior Leadership Award. Connie also serves Vice President of the SE Section of the LPGA. “My focus has always been on junior golf,” said Capanegra. “Watching our many students learn the game and excel through school and go off to college is what drives me every day.” The South Florida PGA Section annually recognizes PGA Professionals for overall performance, level of service, leadership, ability to inspire fellow professionals and promote the game of golf. Congratulations to Chapter Coach Dave McNulty (pictured above right with wife Phyllis and son Sean), for receiving the 2019 South Florida PGA Patriot Award, an award which recognizes a PGA member that demonstrates an unwavering commitment and dedication to all who have served the United States. This year marks the first time the South Florida PGA will honor a member on the Section level. “I am so humbled by this award,” said McNulty. “I am so grateful for this great country’s veteran men and women. Without them where would we be?”
