On Saturday, September 8, the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour in partnership with the Middle Atlantic PGA plays the Middle Atlantic One-Day Series event at Kenwood G & CC in Bethesda, MD.
The MA One-Day Series will include 8 One-Day tournaments in the Middle Atlantic region, concluding with a two-day Series Finale at the end of the season. 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.
