MONTGOMERY – The Alabama State men’s and women’s golf teams began practice during the past week as the Hornets prepare to open the fall season by hosting the ASU Fall Golf Classic this weekend at the RTJ Golf Course in Prattville.
The men are three-time defending SWAC champions, while the women’s program has won the last two SWAC titles and three in the past four years.
“I like our teams,” head coach Dr. Gary Grandison said. “I really like where they are attitude-wise, because success is an attitude. I like the way we’re starting the fall, preparing well. Hopefully we can continue to represent Alabama State the way we have in previous years.”
The Hornets will face another challenging schedule in the fall. Among the highlights, the men are slated to play in a tournament at St. Johns at the famed Bethpage Course in September, while the women are slated to play in Hawaii in October.
“It’s all about attitude,” Dr. Grandison said. “If our players continue to take care of their bodies, their minds, and themselves in the process of preparing to win tournaments, we’ll be fine. They will get a PGA Tour-type experience this year, just like last year. As long as they continue to take care of the things we ask them to, it should be another exciting year for Alabama State golf.”
