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 2020-21 season will feature over 110 tournaments in 10 states on the East Coast, and with over 1,000 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl\u2019s only tour in the country.\u00a0 Learn more about the PKBGT at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/\">http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>For complete coverage of the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls\u2019 Golf Tour, follow the PKBGT on social media @PKBGirlsTour (Twitter), facebook.com\/girlsgolftour (Facebook), @pkbgirlstour (Instagram), or visit our website at\u00a0<\/i><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/\">www.pkbgt.org<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greensboro, NC- The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour is pleased to announce the hiring of Killian Casson to the Golf Operations Staff as a National Tournament Director.
