By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the players pace. With over 60 tournaments in 5 states on the East Coast and 650 members, the PKBGT is the largest girls only tour in the country.

Every detail of the Storie Apparel line is intentional \u2013 from technical fabric and design, to stitching and fit. The result is a collection of clothing and accessories that set a new standard of performance. The designs are intentionally crafted to let the athlete shine, not the clothing.
