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.

NEXT PLAYDAY EVENTS

March 17: SWGA Scramble, East Ridge CC, 9:00am

March 31: SSWGA Scramble, Stonebridge GC, 9:00am

The next SSWGA event is on June 18th at Northwood Hills Golf Club with 9:00am shotgun.



La Di Da Best Ball

I realize this is a tad bit late, but wanted to share the info in spite of that.  The La Di Da Tournament held in Lufkin, TX at Crown Colony CC is a really nice tournament that our gals starting travelling to in 2011.  This year we had two 4-lady teams that particpated.

The format is a little different in that you take the TWO best gross scores of the group as well as the TWO best net scores and these are added together for the two separate awards at the end of the tourney.
This year, Team Granger/Tinsley/Gray/Magee won 1st low net in their first flight....only ONE stroke short of taking the overall low net for the field!!!!  Too bad, because that would have gotten their names on the beautiful La Di Da trophy.  It's always great to have our local girls make their "mark" on an out of town tournament!
The other four players were Team Colvin/Zey/Snyder/McCoy and we can only say that we didn't win anything, but we got our money's worth!!!

SWGA Playday Northwood GC

This post will be fairly direct, as I was unable to attend the Northwood Playday on May 21st. But I do have the list of winners:

FIRST FLIGHT
Low Gross: (tie) Mary Jo Gray/Teri McGuire(WGAS) 83
Low Net: Cathy Buckley (BWGA) 72
2nd Gross: Debbie Magee (WGAS) 88
2nd Net: Suzanne Tinsley (WGAS) 79
Low Putts: Debbie Magee 30

SECOND FLIGHT
Low Gross: Joyce Middleton (ERCC) 85
Low Net: Robbie Fisher (BWGA) 67
2nd Gross: Donna Cobb (BWGA) 87
2nd Net: Jill Litton (NHGC) 74
Low Putts: Joyce Middleton 27

THIRD FLIGHT
Low Gross: Marge Snyder (NHGC) 89
Low Net: Joan Day (FRLGA) 69
2nd Gross: Gayle Gansfuss (ERCC) 92
2nd Net: (tie) Hui Bordelon (FRLGA)/Phyllis Ryan (ERCC) 74
Low Putts: (tie) Marge Snyder/Phyllis Ryan 31

FOURTH FLIGHT

2nd Gross: Jeanette Bohringer (BWGA) 94
2nd Net: Donna Ihle (WGAS) 70
Low Putts: Phyllis Graybiel 28

The highlight of the day was Donna Cobb's Eagle on the Par 5 eighteenth hole.  From her great drive, she hit a 160+ yard second shot onto the green and made the putt.  Great job, Donna!

The next SWGA Playday is at Fox Run on June 6th, and because there must be a list of players entering the facility, you must sign up well in advance if you intend to play.  If you don't enter the base with a lady who has military ID, you must provide (when you sign up) your Date of Birth, last four digits of your SSN, and your Driver's License Number.  Contact your Club Rep by AT LEAST June 1st.

Southern Belle


I know how late this is, however, my camera disc broke during the tournament and I've been scrambling to try to find pictures.  Still haven't gotten the ones of all the winners, but maybe they will show up later and I can add them to the slideshow.

It was a great tournament as usual and the ladies love the format that's been used the last two years now: one day of practice and one day of tournament.  Tee gifts couldn't get any better.  This year it was Nike golf shoes that were so comfortable we wore ours on the first day of the tournament!

The putting contest was a fun event again and the winners were Robbie Fisher and Tommye Englecke, both of BWGA. 

The overall Gross winners were Kathy Davis (STCC) and Amy Johnson with a nice score of 68, while the overall low Net winners was the team of Constant/Williams with a net of 62.5.  There are pictures of the leaderboards in the slide show presentation and that will give you all the winners.

We're already looking forward to next year!
