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.
