Recap: NC One-Day Series at Pinehurst Resort No. 1

The NC One-Day Series will include 11 One-Day tournaments in North Carolina, concluding with the two-day Series Finale at Colonial CC on September 15-16. These events offer innovative yardage-based divisions to girls aged 9-17. The PKBGT Series Progression allows players to progress towards playing collegiate golf by playing yardage/skill appropriate tournaments as they develop their game.

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.
