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 Northwood Hills

Northwood Hills hosted a great group of thirty-five ladies at the SWGA playday event today, August 18.  The weather cooperated with a nice breeze all day.  The hospitality and wonderful food treats were as wonderful as usual.  Good job, ladies.

SWGA Playday at Fox Run

Mother Nature sent a really nice breeze today to help make the 100* temps more tolerable for the 32 ladies that came out to play at Fox Run Golf Club.  For the most part, the scores were low, with a third of the field scoring 90 or less!  Not bad, ladies!
Highlight of the day was a hole in one by Joyce Middleton on Hole #8.  This makes two in the last four years.  Congratulations Joyce.

Low gross score of the day was shot by Mary Lynn Stuart with a sweet 78, followed closely behind by Kathy Davis with a really nice 81.  Low Net of the day was a tie between Gayle Gansfuss and Hui Bordelon with a whopping 63.  Marge Snyder was acting like a professional out there today, needing only 28 putts for her round!
