The 2012 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour tees off Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22 at the Terrapin Classic @ University of Maryland GC . The University of Maryland GC, home of the University of Maryland Terrapins men’s and women’s golf teams, is a challenging course for this two day event. The event features a field of 35 players from the PKB Girls’ Golf Tour, the nation’s largest “girls’ only” junior tour with over 400 members and 94 alumni in the collegiate ranks.
The Bell Division field features 24 golfers, highlighted by four of the top 20 players on the 2012 PKBGT Order of Merit lists, including: Allison Cooper (Harrisburg, PA 2015) in 15th position, Ashlii Thompson (Browns Summit, NC 2013) in 16th position, Bryana Nguyen (Columbia, MD 2014) in 17th position, and Delaney Shah (North Potomac, MD 2016) in 19th position. There are several new players to the tour this season, including: Marissa DeCola (Butler, PA 2012) and Graysen Bright (Rockville, MD 2015). Also, Allison Wong (Rockville, MD 2014) will be playing her first event as a Bell Division player at the Terrapin Classic.
