On Friday, August 11, the 2017 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour plays the One-Day Open Series at Mill Creek GC.

The goal of One-Day Open Series events is to provide a fun and friendly tournament on a premium golf course. The event features a field of 29 players from the PKB Girls’ Golf Tour, the nation’s largest “girls’ only” junior tour.
