TSU Men and women's golf schedules released

NASHVILLE, Tennessee - The Tennessee State University men and women's golf teams recently released the 2012-13 season schedules.

The men's team will participate in nine tournaments this season while the women will compete in seven events.

Both squads will have their first opportunity to tee-off this weekend at the ASU Fall Golf Classic hosted by Alabama State, Sep.1-3.

Later in the month, the women will travel to the MSU Drake Creek Invitational (Sept. 16-18) and the SIUE Intercollegiate (Sept. 23-25) while the men's team will look to three-peat at the National Black College Hall of Fame Invitational in Atlanta, Sept. 28-30.

October will be a test of endurance for the relatively young men's team composed of four sophomores, two juniors and a lone senior. The month presents three consecutive weekends of play beginning October 7-9 with the Tigers traveling to Paris, Tenn. to participate in UT Martin's annual Skyhawk Classic.

The following weekend Tennessee State will visit Morganton, N.C. for the Donald Ross Intercollegiate before closing out the month at the F&M Bank Intercollegiate Tournament hosted by Austin Peay.

For the women, October will look slightly different, as the team's only tournament of the month will be the Charles Braun Jr. Intercollegiate (Oct. 28-30).

The men pick up competition again when they spring forward March 10, 2013 at the Grover Page Classic. The Tigers will conclude the month with the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate (March 17-19) and the ASU Red Wolves Intercollegiate (March 31- April 2).

Also in March, women's golf will see action at the Murray State Invitational (March 3-5) and the Alabama A&M Classic (March 24-26).

April 14-16, the Tigers will play host as they swing away in the Big Blue Intercollegiate Tournament held in Old Hickory, Tenn.
