Greg and Dan are joined by D.A. Points, a proud Pekin native and seasoned PGA Tour professional, to discuss the ongoing Junior Open taking place this week at the historic Pekin Country Club. The tournament, which began Tuesday and concludes on Thursday, serves as a valuable platform for aspiring high school golfers to showcase their talent, gain exposure to college scouts, and potentially earn athletic scholarships.
Points shares insights from his own professional journey and emphasizes the importance of grassroots tournaments like this one in shaping the future of the sport. As a three-time PGA Tour winner with a long-standing commitment to youth development and golf education, Points remains deeply connected to his hometown and continues to support the next generation of athletes.
The Pekin Country Club itself has undergone a meaningful revitalization under new ownership, with efforts underway to restore its legacy and enhance both its facilities and community presence. This tournament marks an exciting chapter in that resurgence, bringing competitive spirit and local pride back to the course.
