On Sunday, July 14, the 2019 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour played the Kentucky Series at Gibson Bay Golf Course in Richmond, KY.
These PKBGT regional 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.
The inaugural season of the Kentucky Regional Series, in partnership with the Kentucky PGA Junior Tour, consists of six one-day events concluding with the two-day Series Finale in October.

About the PKBGT
Founded in 2007 by the Triad Youth Golf Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, as a local girls’ golf tour in the Triad region of North Carolina, the tour began as a simple concept: create more effective competitive playing opportunities for girls. By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player’s pace. The 2019 season will feature over 90 tournaments in 9 states on the East Coast and with over 900 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl’s only tour in the country.
