Since the US Open concludes today, today’s featured sculpture is of a young boy playing golf. This sculpture sits in front of the clubhouse at the First Tee of Little Rock facility. It was unveiled in 2001 at the dedication ceremony for First Tee. President George HW Bush and Arnold Palmer were present along with Jackson T. Stephens and his son Warren Stephens.

Over the past eleven years, thousands of boys and girls have walked past this sculpture as they learn not only the game of golf but also the life skills that golf teaches. In May 2011, President George W Bush spoke at a ceremony commemorating the tenth anniversary of the First Tee of Little Rock.
