St. Louis Women's Golf Association

 

SLWGA

St. Louis Women's Golf Association began in the mind of its founder, Pam Rothfuss Whalen, in 1975. With a background in competitive golf in the state of Ohio, Pam realized that the St. Louis metropolitan area lacked a public golf organization for the woman golfer. So the quest for a women's public golf association began.

With the help of volunteer women golfers in the greater St. Louis area, an open invitational tournament was organized and scheduled which would prove to be the impetus in forming the SLWGA. The tournament, held in the fall of 1976, was a huge success.

Those same devoted workers began the formaliztion of an organization that became known as the St. Louis Women's Golf Association (SLWGA). In January of 1977, the SLWGA, armed with an Executive Committee of ten women, a constitution and a dream, began to beat the bushes, the rough and the greater St. Louis area for all public course women golfers.

In recognition of her many contributions to women's golf in the greater St. Louis area, Pam Rothfuss Whalen has been named an Honorary Life Member of the SLWGA.

For the 2008 season, we have nearly 200 members, playing out of 15 St. Louis area public golf courses.
