March 27 – Pepsi Little People’s is pleased to announce that Applebee’s will again sponsor the ever- popular Parent-Child tournament and associated events in 2017!
The optional 9-hole Applebee’s Parent-Child will be played Sunday (Father’s Day), June 18, 2017, on holes 19-27 at Westview Golf Course, Quincy, IL. The alternate shot event is the kick-off to the 44th annual Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships, which will be played June 19-21 in Quincy.

An Applebee’s representative will be on hand at the Family Celebration Picnic on Monday night to present trophies and medals to the winners in all Applebee’s events.
“We are extremely delighted to have formed this partnership with Applebee’s,” stated Nan Ryan, Little People’s Executive Director. “Applebee’s has long been a strong supporter of the tournament with its Closest to the Pin contest, and sponsoring the Parent-Child and associated events solidifies their belief in junior golf and Little People’s.”
