The Alto Ladies 9-Hole Golf Association would like to welcome all the ladies of the Alto Golf and Country Club to join the AL9GA. Our objective is to have fun while learning more about the game of golf.

Betsey Massey is credited for initially recognizing the needs of a group of women at Alto Lakes who were interested in playing 9 rather than 18 holes of golf due to time constraints, skill level or physical limitations. Betsey inspired Norma Hendon and Marvel McKinley to formally establish the Alto Ladies 9-Hole Golf Association in 2001 by adapting by-laws and standing rules. Norma became the first president and Marvel organized the play days. The rapid growth of the Alto Ladies 9-Hole Golf Association endorsed the wisdom and vision of these three ladies, and the AL9GA quickly became a sanctioned entity in the Alto Lakes Golf and Country Club community.
