The Kentucky Series was promoted in partnership with the Kentucky PGA Junior Tour. The PKBGT regional events offer innovative yardage-based divisions to girls aged 9-18. The PKBGT Series Progression<\/a>\u00a0allows players to progress towards playing collegiate golf by playing yardage\/skill appropriate tournaments as they develop their game.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With continued growth of both the series and girls’ golf as a whole, it turned out to be a great year on the inaugural Kentucky Series circuit!

Another thanks to Storie Apparel<\/a> for providing all regional members with a logoed PKBGT polo!<\/p>\n

A huge congratulations to our three new Storie Apparel Order of Merit Champions\u00a0 – Reagan Clark<\/strong> (Prep), Madison Borders<\/strong> (Futures) and Kiera Yun<\/strong> (Discovery)! Stay tuned as we recap and recount the success of these three throughout the series.<\/p>\n

About the PKBGT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 2007 by the Triad Youth Golf Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, as a local girls\u2019 golf tour in the Triad region of North Carolina, the tour began as a simple concept: create more effective competitive playing opportunities for girls. By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player\u2019s pace. The 2019 season will feature over 90 tournaments in 9 states on the East Coast and with over 900 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl\u2019s only tour in the country.\u00a0 Learn more about the PKBGT at\u00a0http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
