Nevada Opens Spring Season at The Prestige

Nevada Men’s Golf Supporters,

I want to thank you for your support for the last newsletter and the Pack Nine Tour. We’ve seen a wave of sign-ups for our first event at Washoe and we do anticipate a sell out.

As I’m writing this from La Quinta, California, we just finished preparations for The Prestige at PGA West. This event features a 24-team field including 21 ranked in the Top 100. Past individual champions include Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, and Maverick McNealy. It is as good of a challenge as I could ask for to open our spring slate and the Norman Course at PGA West is one that typically produces a tight leaderboard.

A core value in our program is to give it your best everyday and I’m pleased with the effort this group has brought during qualifying, practice, in the class room, and workouts. The milder Reno winter allowed us to be productive early this semester as we were able to get in seven qualifying rounds for this event concluding on Saturday here in the Coachella Valley.

Without your continued support we would not be able to travel our entire team for a holiday weekend like this. This fact is not lost on us as a group and we are appreciative and grateful. The Pack got better this weekend and I’m excited to see how they respond.

Battle Born!
