JONESBORO, Ark. (1/28/13) – The Arkansas State women’s golf team is currently holding its qualifying rounds in preparation for their spring season and Courtney Manning recorded a hole-in-one.

The junior from New Zealand aced the 182-yard seventh hole at Sage Meadows using a three hybrid. Last season she finished with a stroke average of 79.22 for second best on the team and also recorded four top-25 finishes. She has also been named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List in both of her years as a Red Wolf.

A-State has four more qualifying rounds and they will be played at Ridgepointe Country Club and Jonesboro Country Club. The qualifying rounds are used to determine the top five golfers they will take to their first tournament.

A-State’s first tournament is the Jim West Challenge hosted by Texas State at Blanco, Texas Feb. 17-18.
