Summary
Kevin, the head golf professional at Yuki Country Club, told attendees that the club began on the Yuki family farm in 1928, was renamed Yuki Country Club in 1939 for Julian H. Yuki, and will mark a centennial in 2028; he emphasized membership traditions, staff dedication and community events hosted with the city.
Kevin, introduced by Mayor Pete as the head golf professional at Yuki Country Club, gave a brief history of the club and described its role in Crown Point City life.
“For nearly a century, Yuki Country Club has been more than just a golf course,” Kevin said, tracing the parcel from Yuki family farmland in 1928 to the membership’s 1939 decision to rename the club in honor of Julian H. Yuki. He described the course’s classic features—tree-lined fairways, bunkering and greens that demand precision—and said the club connects generations through events such as club championships, invitationals and annual leagues.
Kevin also described his personal connection to the course: he said he began playing as a teenager and now serves as head professional, calling his role an honor. He noted the club’s community involvement, including hosting the city’s DARE program fundraiser and providing programming that brings nonmembers to the course. Kevin closed by referencing the club’s centennial in 2028 and thanking attendees for the invitation to speak.
What happens next: the club will observe a centennial in 2028; the mayor noted the Yuki team’s local partnerships and thanked them for hosting the meeting.
