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.

Change in USGA Rules on GPS/Phone Devices

For those who participate in the Louisiana Women's Golf State Tournaments, this information could keep you from being disqualified, so please take heed.

In the past, we have been permitted to use GPS devices as long as they measured ONLY distances.  The use if iPhones, iPads, and tablets were permitted as long as they were capable of measuring distances ONLY.

Beginning this year, the use of those type devices as GPS for golf WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.  You can continue to have your cell phone with you for use in an emergency or to call the pro shop for rulings, but that's it.  And as usual, they should be placed on vibrate or silent during play.

The use of golf GPS devices are still permitted as long as they measure distance only.

For full details, please read the flyer that can be accessed by clicking here.
