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.

Crooked Hollow Couples Tournament

For those who don't already know about one of the best kept secrets around, every month from March through November, Crooked Hollow Golf Club hosts a Couples Scramble.  This is not only a really FUN tournament, but it's also such a BARGAIN. 

On the third Sunday of each month, you can play in this tournament after church with the 1:00pm shotgun, for just $20.  Nope.  It's not a typo.  It's just $20 a person.  The tournament is flighted after play, so everyone has a chance to win, even if you have a bad day.  There are three winning couples in each flight and the winnings are put on a special credit card for your use in the pro shop whenever you want to use it.  There is also a closest to the pin prize each month for men and ladies.  It's simply a fabulous deal.

The last tournament of the year in November is a two-day tournament with more prizes and good food included.  If you don't already have a golfing partner, find one and call Crooked Hollow to sign up.

Louisiana State Mid Am

The LWGA Mid Am Championship was held this year at the Farm d'Allie in Lafayette, LA.  In spite of it's close proximity to the Shreveport area, we had only two participants:  Gayle Gansfuss and Joyce Middleton, both of EastRidge Country Club.  But we managed to have a winner in the group and that was Joyce who won Low Gross in the Second Flight with scores of 90/87. 

The overall winner of the Mid Am was Kay Daniel of Slidell, taking home the honors for the eighth time!!!  Congratulations!

The next State Tournament is also nearby at Squire Creek.  The State Amateur Match Play will be played June 8-12.  Watch for more info and entry forms soon.

SSWGA Playday Stonebridge


The golfing season for the Shreveport Senior ladies kicked off on March 5th at Stonebridge with a scramble event.  Thirty-seven ladies braved the gale force winds and had a wonderful day of golf and renewing friendships.  And what a nice surprise:  not only did we have a free hamburger lunch, but our golf fees were also compliments of Stonebridge!  You can't beat that.

The ladies were divided into eight teams and the scores were very close, ranging from 65 to 70, which was very good, considering the winds.

Winners were:

FIRST PLACE with 65: 
Kathryn Salpietra (STCC), Martha Lawhorne (BWGA), Dot Henson (WGAS), Joanne McDonald (BWGA), and Tommye Engelcke (BWGA)

SECOND PLACE with 66 (scorecard playoff winner):
Debbie Magee (WGAS), Joyce Middleton (ERCC), Theresa Kruse (PCC), Mary Moore (FRLGA), and Susan Mitcham (WGAS)

THIRD PLACE with 66:
Shirley Pettitt (BWGA), Vicki Cella (NHGC), Gayle Gansfuss (ERCC), Susan Berry (NHGC), and Alyce Wyche (PCC)

FOURTH PLACE with 69 (scorecard playoff):
Mary Jo Gray (WGAS), Marge Snyder (NHGC), Grace Ireland (PCC), Barbara Offer (BWGA), and Bea Roach (NHGC)

The next SSWGA event is April 23rd at Southern Trace CC with a 9:00am shotgun start.
