Bell National Series - Katherine Perry Hamski Tradition

The Katherine Perry Hamski Tradition at UNC Finley Golf Club is a key event on the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour, featuring fields in the Bell National, Prep Preview, and Futures National divisions. Players earn points toward the PKBGT Order of Merit and Junior Golf Scoreboard, with champions in each division advancing to the PKBGT National Tournament of Champions and select finishers qualifying for the LPGA*USGA Girls National Championship at Pine Needles.

Named in honor of Katherine Perry Hamski, assistant women’s golf coach at the University of North Carolina and a former LPGA player, the event celebrates her impact on developing young players and promoting excellence in girls’ golf at every level.

The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour (PKBGT), an initiative of the non-profit Girls Golf of America, is the nation’s only LPGA Foundation Approved girls-only tour. Dedicated to growing participation and opportunity in junior girls golf, the PKBGT provides a structured Progression Pathway that allows players to develop at their own pace through yardage-based divisions rather than age-based groupings. The tour hosts more than 110 events annually across national and regional circuits, offering affordable, high-quality competition for girls ages 9–19. With over 1,400 alumnae advancing to collegiate programs and many competing on the LPGA and Epson Tours, the PKBGT continues to set the standard for player development, exposure, and community in junior girls golf.
