The beach umbrellas are packed away for the season, summer break is over and school is back in session! With the start of another school year comes the beginning of the 2018 College Golf fall season! You can find PKBGT alumni spread all throughout the country competing for their school at all levels of college competition.

Though the season begins at different times for each team, this past week marked the beginning for many of our alumni. We are incredibly proud of each and every girl who worked tirelessly to reach the ultimate goal of playing in college, and this year we introduce our #ThrowbackThursday Weekly College Roundup where we feature the top performances of the week from the same players who were once in your shoes, now competing in top level collegiate tournaments.
