Join the Let’s Play Campaign<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2015, the PKB Girls\u2019 Golf Tour enters its ninth season. In its short history, the Tour has grown leaps and bounds. Started in 2007 as a venue for aspiring collegiate golfers in the Carolinas to develop, compete, and be recognized, the Tour has expanded to host events in seven states, with over 450 members, and more than 300 members advancing to the collegiate ranks. We are excited about the Tour\u2019s growth and the profound impact it has had on its participants\u2019 recruitment and success in college. In addition, it is rewarding to hear the many stories of friendships made both on the course and in the gallery. We strive to make the PKBGT more than just a golf tournament. We aim for a positive environment to grow and sustain girls golfers.<\/p>\n

Our vision through the Let\u2019s Play Campaign is to establish 1,000 \u201cgirls\u2019 only\u201d tournaments in the next 10 years based on a multi-level competitive framework which cultivates, enhances, and recognizes girls\u2019 successes in the game. We aim to accomplish this vision through 3 strategic goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. INCREASE LPGA-USGA GIRLS GOLF MEMBERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION<\/li>\n
  2. SUSTAIN GROWTH THROUGH APPROPRIATE COMPETITIVE OPPORTUNITIES<\/li>\n
  3. DEVELOP EQUITY IN COMPETITIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS IN GOLF<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
