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

SWGA Championship


Who would have thought that we would have such perfect weather for a Championship in the middle of July?!?  It was beautiful and the course was its usual beautiful venue for the SWGA Championship at Southern Trace CC.  Twenty-seven ladies participated in this event….enjoying SOMETHING about it…..the golf, the food, the course, the prizes, the friendships.
But to the nitty-gritty…..Lillian Granger (STCC) led the field after the first day, shooting 84, and thus, winning the Medalist award.  But Mary Lynn Stuart (ERLGA) came on strong on Day 2 causing a tie between the two, resulting in a sudden death playoff.  Mary Lynn shot 86/77 and Lillian shot 84/79.  It took only one sudden death hole to determine the Champion.  This is the TENTH time Mary Lynn has won, starting back in 1976!!!  Congratulations!
 


Brenda Graves (BLGA) shot lights out too, winning Net Medalist honors as well as Net Champion with two day net scores of 70/70.  Overall Low Putts went to Gina O’Neal (for the second year in a row) with a nice 61 putts.  Congratulations ladies!

SSWGA Playday at Northwood GC


Twenty-three ladies started and nineteen tough ladies finished the SSWGA playday at Northwood on July 9th.  IT WAS HOT!  Heat index was well over one hundred degrees with very little, if any breeze.  Since the course had a lot of rain a couple days earlier, much of the rough wasn’t cut, making playing conditions even harder.  But as usual, the Northwood hospitality was A-1!


The low gross score of the day was 83…..a tie in the Regular Senior Flight…..between Cathy Buckley (BWGA) and Vicki Cella (NLGA).  The low gross in the Super Senior Flight was 86 by Joyce Middleton (ERLGA).

In the Regular Senior Flight of ten ladies, the low net score (not counting those that had low gross scores) was an 70 by Brenda Graves (BLGA) who also had an EAGLE chip-in).  Low net in the Super Senior Flight  of nine ladies was 69 by Gayle Gansfuss (NLGA).

Overall low putts for the day was 28 by Brenda Graves and Pam Crews (NLGA), followed by a 29 by Grace Ireland (NLGA).
