The Murray State women's golf team plays at the Bama Beach Bash at Gulf Shores Golf Club in Gulf Shores, Ala. (March 19-21), their first appearance in the event after their date there in the spring of 2020 was cancelled because of the pandemic.

The Racers have played in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina so far this spring and have shown signs that they can produce a solid finish, like they did at the Kiawah Island Classic (March 2) with a sixth place finish in a field of 41 teams. Racer senior, Raeshya Surendran, is leading the team with a 76.3 scoring average which is eighth in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Coach Velvet Milkman sends out a line up with Surendran leading the way. Payton Carter, Ana Garcia Picchi, Briana McMinn and Sarah Forsythe round out the starting five. Lucila Puente Rodriguez de Austria, Charli Jo Doss and Emmie Eriksson are in the event as solo players.

The schedule of play has 18 holes each day starting Friday (March 19) with the final round on Sunday (March 21).

The course at the Gulf Shores Golf Club will play to a par-72 and a length of 6,002 yards.
