On Saturday-Sunday, October 5-6, the 2013 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour plays the Mid-Atlantic Invitational Qualifier at Lakeview Golf Club. Lakeview, home to the James Madison University men’s and women’s golf teams is an beautiful course for this two-day fall qualifier tournament. The event features a field of 12 players. Although the field is small, the participants will be vying for three coveted invitations to the PKBGT INVITATIONAL at Grandover Resort (East Course) in November.
The field features 12 girls from the 2013 PKB Tour and a few new faces. There are a few top-performers on the 2013 PKBGT Order of Merit Lists, including: Eunbbie Kim (Potomac, MD 2015), Ashley Nguyen (South Riding, VA 2017), and Sirena Walsh (Chantilly, VA 2016). Also in the field are a few new players on the PKB Tour, including: Caroline Curtis (Glen Allen, VA), Farah Gatut (Leesburg, VA 2017), and Johnna Parlett (Owings, MD 2019).
The Mid-Atlantic Invitational Qualifier at Lakeview Golf Club brings together players from Maryland and Virginia. Beautiful summer-like weather is in the forecast for this weekend. With sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s, it should be a great couple days for the second Invitational Qualifier of the season. The top-three finishers this weekend will each receive an invitation to the PKBGT INVITATIONAL at Grandover Resort (East Course). The event brings together some of the best golfers on the East coast and in the Midwest. It is a highly ranked event by Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings, AJGA Performance Based Entry, and Junior Golf Scoreboard. This event should not be missed!
