Clarksville, TN – With the winningest regular season in program history in the books, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) women’s golf team is set to tee off at its first ASUN Conference Women’s Golf Championship, Sunday-Tuesday, on the Highlands Course at Hampton Cove on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama.
