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.

SSWGA Playday at Huntington Park

The Golf Club at Huntington Park hosted the SSWGA ladies association with 18 ladies participating. The course was in good shape and the staff was very helpful. This was the first stroke play event of the season and the attendance was less than we hoped for, but those that played enjoyed the golf and the fellowship.

The SSWGA has provisions for the regular senior ladies (50 and over) as well as the super senior ladies (70 and over). This year, fifty percent of the membership are super seniors, and each year, the number is growing in that category. The numbers were true in this event also.

In the regular division, the low gross score of the day was 90 by Jane Smith (WGAS), while Low Net was Daneita Adams (BWGA) with a score of 70. There was a tie for Low Putts between Martha Lawhorne (BWGA) and Cheryl Smith (WGAS) with just 34 putts.

In the Super Senior division, Joyce Middleton (ERCC) won Low Gross honors (even with a gimped knee) with a very nice 83. Low Net was a 66 by Jan Crowe (BWGA) and Low Putts of 33 by Pat (Miller) Mason (NHGC).

Our next SSWGA event is at Eastridge CC on May 1st. We are looking forward to a good turnout. If you haven't already signed up, do so immediately for this opportunity to play this very nice golf venue.

SWGA Playday at Stonebridge

The Golf Club at Stonebridge hosted the SWGA's first gross/net competition of 2018 on April 10th.  It started out mighty chilly but thanks to the bright sunshine, we all got defrosted about halfway through the round.  The forty-three ladies that participated peeled off layers of clothing as the day progressed and enjoyed a really nice day of golf and socializing after the long, winter months.

The low round of the day was 77 by Kathy Davis of Stonebridge who also shared the Low Putts honors with Becky Hollier, also of Stonebridge, stroking for putts only 27 times!

Ironically, Low Net score of the day was by Kathy Davis.....of Northwood.....with a great 65 net.  (I think I'm going to change my name to Davis!)  BUT....I did have an Eagle on hole #5 from about 100 yards out!!!

This year, there was a change in the format which does not provide for pre-flighting by handicap.  Instead, it is flighted AFTER the round based on the gross score.  You can see the scores of the entire field in the pictures below.

Congratulations to all the winners.  The next SWGA playday is May 22nd at Northwood.  Hope to see you there!
