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 GC

Right slap in the middle of SUMMER, we were blessed with a cool front for the SWGA Playday at Northwood Hills on Tuesday, June 11.  Thirty ladies enjoyed a beautiful day with the usual Northwood hospitality and lots of fun, except for Judy McGrew who got moved from one group to another two or three times!  But she handled it very well.
 


Mary Lynn Stuart (ERWGA) took top overall gross honors, shooting a really nice score of 80, followed closely by Brenda Graves (BLGA) with a not-too-shabby 82.  Good golfing gals!  Overall low net for the day was a score of 68 by both Brenda Graves and Joyce Middleton (ERWGA).  Overall Low Putts was 28 by yours truly, Kathleen McCoy (BWGA), followed closely behind by Joyce Middleton and Jan Lea (NLGA), both with a nice 29.

There were nine birdies shot by six ladies, with the popular birdie hole being #10.  Congrats!

Our next SWGA playday is right around the corner on June 27 at Huntington Park.  This is a makeup date from an April rain-out.  Your club reps will be notifying you to sign up in the very near future.

We had a good collection of necessities for Woody's Home for Vets, including $35 collected that day.  We decided to include a jar for monetary contributions for those ladies who "forgot" to bring their non-perishable goods for the home.  Afterall, money will also buy what they may be needing.  The money jar will be available for both SWGA and SSWGA events and good will continue to be collected and delivered to Woody's where they are welcomed with very large smiles!  WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE LADIES!
