2024 SFLGA
Welcome to the Starmount Forest Ladies Golf Association for all golf members for what promises to be a spectacular 2024/2025 golf season! The SFLGA is in its 86th year and we have a rich history of friendship and fun! It is a great opportunity to meet your fellow members and enjoy the game of golf. We are a member run group that encourages all lady golfers to enjoy the game no matter what ability they have. The SFLGA is comprised of all skill levels of play. Your skill level is not important! What’s important? The opportunity to play with other women who love the game, the camaraderie, to laugh and have fun, to encourage, to improve and cheer for each other.
