developed that last a lifetime. These young athletes are encouraged to always exhibit proper golf etiquette, which help them become successful adults. Evans Scholars Chick Evans was a very successful amateur golfer, who won the 2016 U.S. Open. He also won the U.S. Amateur in the same year and was sought out for golf instruction and appearances. As an amateur, he was not able to accept prize money, appearance fees, or any other income earned from golf. His mother suggested a charitable foundation be formed that could accept the money. Evans spent many years as a caddy in the suburbs of Northern Chicago. Due to a lack of funds, he was forced to drop out of college. He took his mother’s suggestion, and those charitable efforts became the Evans Scholarship Foundation, which gives full-ride college scholarships to former caddies at clubs across the country. Since the Evans Scholarship Foundation officially began in 1930, they have granted 11,815 college scholarships to deserving young men and women caddies. Currently there are over 1,100 students enrolled at 22 universities.
