New 2018 Golfing Season

The new SWGA and SSWGA golfing season is just around the corner.  We start off with an SWGA scramble at East Ridge, followed the next week with an SSWGA scramble at Stone Bridge, both with 9:00am shotgun starts. 


I hope you will take advantage of these fun events.  Remember, you must sign up ahead of time with your Club Rep in order for pairings to be made and if you MUST cancel, you MUST notify the Events Chairman of the appropriate association.  The SWGA Event Chairman is Jane Smith and the SSWGA Events Chairman is Kathleen McCoy.


As info, this blog has become very user-unfriendly for me to use for pictures, so there may be a shortage of them, especially if photos are not provided by the host clubs.  I will continue to post the playday results on this blog as well as on Facebook in the SWGA/SSWGA News Site group.  I will also try to send results via email so that those not on Facebook can see the results.

SSWGA Playday at Crooked Hollow

It was a heavy mist and absolutely NO roll, but twenty-one ladies braved the elements on August 10th for the SSWGA Playday at Crooked Hollow.  The day ended up sunny, but sweltering, kind of like the scores!

The low score of the day was 85 and was a tie between Cathy Buckley and Debbie Magee.  Good playing, ladies!  Overall low putts for the day was also a tie between Linda Colvin and Debbie Magee with a nice 29.  The greens were in great shape and rolled very true.

2017 SSWGA Championship

Huntington Park Golf Club was the venue of the Shreveport Senior Women's Golf Association Championship this year since Fox Run was unable to host the event as originally planned.  Summer was really in bloom for this event on July 26 and 27, with the heat index in triple digits, but the pairings of two- and three-somes really helped get everyone off the course in record times.

Debbie Magee (out of the Golf Club at Stonebridge) won the Champion trophy with her very fine scores of 84 and 83, which also secured the Medalist Award for the first day low score.  Congratulations to the new Champion!

Also taking home a trophy was Mary Gallagher (from the Fox Run Golf Club), winning the Super Senior Championship with her nice scores of 92 and 87, as well as the Most Accurate Drive on day one.  Congratulations Mary!
Huntington was in great condition and Pro Reg Adams went out of his way to accommodate the group of thirteen ladies that participated in the event, including opening the course for the championship on its normal "closed" day of Wednesday.  Thanks to the entire staff.
