HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE, Ark. – The Shocker women's golf team is set to wrap up their fall season with a trip to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas and Diamante Golf Club where they will compete in the Little Rock Golf Classic from Oct. 22-24.
 
Head coach Tom McCurdy is ready to take his team to the Land of Opportunity state.
 
"Diamante is a really nice golf course," said McCurdy. "It's pretty challenging with lots of pine trees and lots of hills and slopes, but it's a very fair golf course. If you can manage your ball well there, you're going to have a good opportunity to score."
