Stonepepper's doesn't have any specific special for Pens games, but they do have a special for every night of the week.

Nearly 100 people played golf in the middle of winter to raise money for recreational programming for kids with special needs.

"It's the best and busiest," said Barb Joyce, owner of StonePepper's Grill and resident of Upper St. Clair. Temperatures were in the 30s, with periods of light rain and sunshine. It was a sharp contrast from last year's event, when snow boots were a necessary accessory. Many golfers said they enjoyed playing on the green fairways this year.
