The Lakeway Ladies Golf Association celebrates its 50th anniversary

The Lakeway Ladies Golf Association celebrated its 50th anniversary as an organization Oct. 19 at the Costa Bella clubhouse in Lakeway.

The organization was founded in 1972, although the specific opening date for the association is not known, LLGA President Beverly Banfield said.

LLGA is for women who “enjoy an 18-hole round of golf for fun, fellowship and competition,” according to its mission statement.

The organization has weekly play days on Wednesday as well as tournaments and special events.

The Oct. 19 event honored 19 past presidents, including Jean Lockhart, a founding member who turned 103 this year.

Banfield, who is in her third year as LLGA president, said there are 85 members in the association. There were 60 when she took office three years ago. 512-263-1286. Lakeway Ladies Golf Association
