Hattie Turnage

Hattie L. Wheeler Turnage 91, of North Little Rock passed away on Saturday, May 6, 2006. Turnage had been president of the Greater Little Rock Golf Association, the Arkansas Women’s Golf Association and the North Hills Country Club Golf Association. Turnage, an avid golfer since the age of 37, was one of the founders of the junior program for boys and girls at North Hills Country Club. She was known as the “Miss Rules” of golf, being a stickler for rules in general. No one was allowed to tee off with her, until she had given her “rule of the day.” In 1994, Hattie was inducted into the ASGA’s Hall of Fame. She was the first woman to receive this honor. Hattie Turnage was additionally recognized in 2005 with the inaugural AWGA Service Award. She, along with Pine Bluff resident Jean Bell, were acknowledged for their lifetime contributions of service to women’s golf in Arkansas. She will be missed by all who knew her through the game of golf.

Congratulations to AWGA member, Tanna Richard, who was recently inducted into the ASGA Hall of Fame. Mrs. Richard is a long time resident of Ft. Smith and member of Hardscrabble Country Club. Her golf career has spanned almost four decades and includes appearances in 13 U. S. Women's Amateurs and 14 Women's Mid-Ams. She is a past AWGA champion, having won the 1980 Match Play at Hot Springs Country Club and the 1996 Stroke Play at Blytheville Country Club. Mrs. Richard is currently serving on the AWGA board of directors.
