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/SSWGA Turkey Scramble

Both the SWGA and SSWGA usually have their own Turkey Scramble in November; however, the weather was testing us this year, so the two organizations combined into one Turkey Scramble on November 21 at Crooked Hollow Golf Club. It turned out to be a great decision. The weather was great, the hospitality wonderful, the food excellent, and the fun was awesome.

The event started early with the SSWGA's Annual meeting, during which officers were elected and awards given for accomplishments during 2019. Four ladies achieved 100% participation for attending all six required events (and also the Turkey Scramble which wasn't required). Those ladies were Daneita Adams, Jan Crowe, Gayle Gansfuss, and Kathleen McCoy. It's not easy to schedule yourself to make all these events as well as the home club events and SWGA events, so it is a great accomplishment.

The End of Year stroke play awards are based on the average of the best five scores during stroke play events. The winners were:
Senior Division Low Gross: Daneita Adams (91.6)
Senior Division Low Net: Nancy Young (74.2)
Senior Most Improved Handicap: Daneita Adams (-6.1)
Super Senior Low Gross: Gayle Gansfuss (96.2)
Super Senior Low Net: Jan Crowe (76.6)
Super Senior Low Putts: Mary Gallagher (33)
Super Senior Most Improved: Gayle Gansfuss (-.7)
There was a 10:00am shotgun start for the 3-lady scramble which included thirty-three ladies, a good showing for the week before Thanksgiving! When all the fun was over, the Net Winners were:
First place (61): Mary Gallagher, Joyce Middleton, Stella Rice.

Second place (63): Shirley Pettitt, Julie Butterfield, Kathleen McCoy

Third place (63): Vicki Cella, Gayle Gansfuss, Tommye Engelcke

Fourth place (64): Pat Mason, Mary Lynn Stuart, Kathy Davis

Fifth place (64): Karen Calvert, Judy McGrew, Hui Bordelon

Sixth place (64): Grace Ireland, Daneita Adams, Pat Rice

Closest to the Pin Winners were: Julie Butterfield, Mary Lynn Stuart
Closest to the Line: Kyong Lee

It was a great day of golf and we are so happy that the SWGA group (whose event had to be cancelled due to rain/cold) accepted our invitation to join the SSWGA's event. Perhaps we can do it again!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

SSWGA Championship

East Ridge CC hosted the SSWGA Championship November 5 and 6....with ideal golfing weather! Sixteen began the contest and fifteen finished.
There are two divisions in this organization: Senior Division (ladies 50 to 69 years old) and Super Senior Division (those 70 and over). Our Senior Division is shrinking, so we need some new young blood to keep this going!!!
Our new Senior Champion is Brenda Graves (BLGA) who shot 83/79 to win the Senior Division and also was the first day Medalist. She also had only 59 putts! The Net Champion is Moise Allen (STCC).
The Super Senior Division was a larger group and the Champion this year is Gayle Gansfuss (NLGA) with scores of 98 and 94, winning by one stroke over Joyce Middleton who was the SS Medalist. The Net Champion is Jan Crowe (BWGA).
Congratulations ladies!
Stella Rice was the Championship Chairman this year and did a great job of organizing the event and working with ERCC management. Good job!
Our next SSWGA event is a Turkey Scramble on November 21, 9:00am. This is also our annual meeting and we have a couple important items to discuss, so please be there.
