By Nan Ryan, LPGC Executive Director Enthusiastic and creative volunteers, five golf courses in three cities, and thousands of local golf fans make the Quincy, IL, area the ideal location for a major international junior golf event. As Founder and Executive Director of one of the largest and most prestigious junior events in the world, I have watched the Pepsi Little People s grow by leaps and bounds.
Kids come from all over the world, from nearly every state and from next door to the golf course.
They come by private and commercial jet, bus and train, vans with fancy golf license plates and in cars that look like they won t make it to the next town. Many of our alumni are now stars on high school or college teams. Some are on one of the many professional golf tours. Many more are golf professionals working at clubs and teaching golf. Some just play for fun.
