‘This is still her house’: Peggy Kirk Bell’s legacy reigns over U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles

President of Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club Kelly Miller plans to be standing at the first tee when the first shot is struck in the 77th US Women’s Open.

Miller recalls standing there with his late mother-in-law and the owner of the course, Peggy Kirk Bell, when the first tee shot was hit in 1996 for the first U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles.

“I was with Peg when the first shot went off,” Miller said. “It was pretty cool. She had a little tear in her eye and said her husband Bullet would have been so proud. So, we’ll all be down there on that first tee for this tournament.”
