— Live Scoring–

On May 13, 2017 the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour played the Middle Atlantic One-Day Series event at Augustine Golf Club, located in Stafford, VA. One-day tournaments are designed for golfers of all skill levels, but are a great place for development golfers to “get in to the swing of things” playing tournament golf.  The goal of One-Day Series events is to provide a fun and friendly tournament on a premium golf course.  The tournament features a field of 23 players and will include the Prep, Futures, and Discovery Series.University of Maryland GC
