On Saturday, July 29, 2017 the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour played the Middle Atlantic One-Day Series event at Belmont Golf Course. 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 Open Series events is to provide a fun and friendly tournament on a premium golf course. The tournament featured a field of 23 players and included the Prep, Futures, and Discovery Series.
Winning the Prep Series was Paris Fieldings (Suffolk, VA 2023). Paris finished the day with a score of six over par, 77. Finishing in second place was Tatum Walsh (Midlothian, VA 2021) with a score of 82. Coming in third place was Brooke Burnette (Suffolk, VA 2018), with a score of 88. Finishing in fourth place was Annabelle Jennings (Chesapeake, VA 2020) with a score of 89.
Winning the Futures Series was Sue Lee (Lorton, VA 2022) finishing the day at three over par, 74. Runner-up was Katie Park (Fairfax, VA 2022), just one stroke behind the leader, shooting 75. Finishing in third place Julie Shin (Brambleton, VA 2022) with a score of 79. Finishing in fourth place was Vynie Chen (Centreville, VA 2020) with a score of 82.
Winning the Discovery Series was Emily Wang (McLean, VA 2024) with her impressive score of three over par, 39. Only 2 shots back was Madison Lehr (Mechanicsville, VA 2024) with a score of 41.
