On Saturday, August 11th, the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour in partnership with the Middle Atlantic PGA played the  Middle Atlantic One-Day Series event at Bowling Green CC (South) in Front Royal, VA.

The MA One-Day Series will include 8 One-Day tournaments in the Middle Atlantic region, concluding with the two-day Series Finale at Fawn Lake CC on September 29-30. 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.
