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 Playday at Southern Trace

This was the largest group of ladies we've had for our 2013 playdays this year with 51 ladies signing up to brave the heat and play their practice round for the 2013 SWGA Championship.  And it WAS hot!  And the course WAS beautiful with super-fast greens.  For those of you who like "numbers", the AVERAGE number of putts was 36.4!

And speaking of putts, Overall Low Putts for the day (and bringing down our total average putts) was Suzanne Tinsley (WGAS), for the second week in a row, with an amazing 28 putts!  I need a putter like hers!  Right on Suzanne's heels for putting prowess was Kathy Davis (STCC) with 29 putts.  Great putting, ladies!

Overall low gross for the day was a fabulous 78 shot by Mary Lynn Stuart (ERCC), followed closely by Suzanne Tinsley with a great 81.  Overall low net score was a 69, again by Suzanne Tinsley (maybe it's not just her PUTTER, huh?) Second low net was Gayle Gansfuss (ERCC) with a really nice 70.
