Nevada Men’s Golf Supporters,

One of the most common questions we get from players and fans alike is “how do you determine the lineup for tournaments?” Below is a breakdown of the method to our madness.

Our framework is designed to do three things:

1: Reward players for quality results. Just like top finishes reward you in professional golf, playing well will earn you additional opportunities on our team. We also reward for team finishes and not just individual finishes at each event.

2: Provide opportunities for players to breakthrough at any point during the season regardless of play to date. Our team is only as strong as our weakest link. Whether you are the top ranked player or you haven’t played in a tournament all season, each player participates in Q-School with the chance to earn an exemption. Think of it as our version of the Monday Qualifier.

3: Incentivize a player-led culture. 4 of the 5 spots on the team are out of the coaches hands each week. The players are the ones who decide who competes for us in tournaments, and the onus is on them to hold each other accountable.

We accomplish the above by creating four opportunities for players to earn “Exemptions” into the lineup:

1: Team or Individual Finish at a Tournament

• If our team finishes in the top third of the field, the low 4 players earn an Exemption.

• If our team finishes in the top half of the field, the low 3 players earn an Exemption.

• If our team finishes in the top two-thirds of the field, the low 2 players earn an Exemption.

• If our team finishes in the top three-fourths of the field, the low player earns an Exemption.

• If a player wins as an individual, they earn two Exemptions.

• If a player finishes in the top 10% of an individual-only tournament, they earn an Exemption.

2: Q-School Rounds at Home

• The number of Exemptions available is less than or equal to the number of rounds played, i.e., if we play 3 rounds, a maximum of 3 Exemptions will be available.

3: Coaches Pick

• One coaches pick will play the 5th spot at each event. This acts as a wildcard for situations where players get sick or injured, have an unforeseen tough finish, etc.

4: Player-Only Vote

• If the above criteria do not produce a total of 5 Exemptions, any remaining spots will be determined by a player-only vote. Each player on the team will anonymously rank the remaining players, and the total results will fill the remaining spots in order.

In our previous newsletter, we announced dates for both our Friday Night Lights (August 22) and Wolf Pack Pro Am (September 15) golf outings. We will be mailing a letter out next week. If you’d like to make sure you receive our snail mail, please update your contact information at the link below.

The best way to stay updated on our program is through this newsletter and our Linktree below. We keep it updated with live leaderboards at tournaments, events, schedules, roster details, and more! Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you stay connected with us.

Battle Born!

Trake

Wolf Pack Pro-Am

We have secured a highly coveted Monday at Montrêux Golf & Country Club this fall and will be launching our inaugural event. We intend for this to become our flagship fundraising outing each year and appreciate your support as we kick things off in year one!

Each 4-Player team will be paired with “Pros” that will consist of current and former players and coaches from Nevada Men’s Golf.

Friday Night Lights

We are also bringing back our popular night golf event at Wildcreek’s newly renovated par 3 course! The course is currently under construction and will reopen later this summer as part of the First Tee’s renovation project.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships opportunities for our events range from $500 to $5,000 and include various team issue only items such as Vessel bags, ProV1 logo golf balls, and invitations to play with the team. Sponsorships cover all of our events for the 2025 calendar year.
