About Us....

The Shreveport Womens Golf Association was formed in 1933 for the purpose of promoting good fellowship and friendly competition among local amateur women golfers. Ladies in this association (SWGA) must have a handicap index of 30.0 or less.

Our sister group, the Shreveport Senior Womens Golf Association, was created for the same purpose, but includes only ladies who have reached at least their fiftieth birthday.
Ladies can be members of either or both organizations as long as they meet the eligibility requirements and pay the appropriate membership dues to each group. This membership entitles ladies to play at least once (in each association) at each of the six golf/country clubs that are participants in the SWGA and SSWGA groups: Bomber Bayou Golf Club, East Ridge Country Club, Huntington Park/Querbes Golf Clubs, Northwood Hills Golf Club, Golf Club at Stonebride, and Southern Trace Country Club.

SWGA Annual Meeting/Luncheon

SWGA's Annual Meeting and Luncheon was held this year at Stonebridge Country Club, after many years at the University Club, which closed this past year.  But Stonebridge stepped right up to the plate and took great care of us.

Forty-five ladies attended the luncheon meeting and if you didn't come, you missed out on a special treat given by Stonebridge:  two free rounds of golf for each non-member who attended the luncheon!!  How nice was that!!

2011 President Becky Farr presided over the meeting as each officer made presentations on their area of responsibility. 

Events Chairman Gayle Gansfuss presented the End of Year Awards, all of which were increased from previous years since our budget allowed it this year.  Seven ladies had 100% participation:  Jill Litton And Marge Snyder of NHGC; Cathy Buckley, Kyong Lee, and Shirley Pettitt of BWGA; Teri McGuire, WGAS; and Jimmie Zey, PCC.  This is a great achievement and the ladies received VISA cards for $30 for their efforts.

Other End of Year Awards included the Most Improved Golfer, Pat Miller (BWGA) who improved her handicap by 3.4 strokes!  She received $20.

Other awards were:
1st Low Putts:  Marge Snyder (NHGC)
2nd Low Putts: Teri McGuire (WGAS)
1st Low Net: Kyong Lee (BWGA)
2nd Low Net: Jill Litton (NHGC)
3rd Low Net: Martha Lawhorne (BWGA)
4th Low Net: Jimmie Zey (PCC)
1st Low Gross: Teri McGuire
2nd Low Gross: Marge Snyder

The lowest gross score during our playdays was 78, shot by Teri McGuire and Marge Snyder.  The second lowest was 80, shot by Lillian Granger (STCC).  The lowest net scrose was 60, posted by Kyong Lee and Marge Snyder.  The lowest putts in all our playdays was by Marge Snyder with 24.

Becky Farr presented the new slate of officers for 2012:

First VP: Mary Gallagher (FRLGA)
Second VP:  Donna Phillips (STCC)
