Stone Mountain, GA– The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour began the 2020-2021 season in the heart of the peach belt for the Atlanta Girls Classic hosted at the Stonemont Course at Stone Mountain Golf Resort. A questionable forecast to begin the day turned into a delightful day out on the links perched against Stone Mountain, where the popular Netflix show Ozark filmed a portion of each season just across the lake from the golf course. A bunched leaderboard in both divisions leaves plenty of players the opportunity to earn their spot in the 2020 Tournament of Champions.
