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

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.
