Spring Season Update - Prestige Recap & General Hackler Preview

Nevada Men’s Golf Supporters,

We’ve been enjoying the best stretch of weather this winter since returning back from the desert where we got 6 rounds in 6 days under our belt. Q-School for the General Hackler hosted by Coastal Carolina has begun, and we will play as many rounds as we can sneak in before we hit the road again on March 13th.

As mentioned in our spring season preview, our 4th and 5th scores will be key to our success the remainder of the season. Our average counting scores for each position at The Prestige were as follows:

1 - 70.0
2 - 72.7
3 - 73.0
4 - 75.3
5 - 77.7

If we include the fall season, the numbers tell a similar story:

1 - 68.9
2 - 71.1
3 - 72.9
4 - 75.2
5 - 78.0

Our focus the rest of the spring will be to keep it simple with fairways and greens, valuing easy pars to limit the big numbers that lead to higher 4th and 5th scores!

Standings through 36 holes of Q-School are below. The low 3 finishers will earn automatic spots into the lineup. We anticipate 2-3 more rounds before we head to Myrtle Beach.

134 (-10) - Aaron Leach
137 (-7) - Jonathan Kim
140 (-4) - Ben Ortwein
141 (-3) - Oak Seelanagae
146 (+2) - Liam Gobin
148 (+4) - Ryan Sear
155 (+11) - Rishi Gupta

Any gift made directly to our program immediately enhances the experience for our student-athletes. We are currently focusing our fundraising efforts on the following:

Travel Additional Players or Support Staff - $1,000-2,500 (each occurrence)

A lot of tournaments allow us to bring more than just the top 5 players who count towards the team score. Every opportunity we get to travel additional players is crucial for their development.

We are also working to expand coverage of the team while at home and at tournaments, and will be looking to travel additional staff to increase the amount of quality content we can pass along to you all.

Lie/Loft Machine - $2,500 (one-time)

With the volume of shots our guys are getting in each week (especially when off mats), lies and lofts can quickly change on irons. We are looking to put a lie/loft machine in the office so we can handle checking and adjusting clubs regularly in-house.

Supplemental Nutrition - $5,000 (per semester)

Current rules allow us to feed the team with few restrictions. A lot of guys are currently working on gaining mass in an effort to increase strength and clubhead speed. We have set up a program to be able to assist them with groceries and additional meals, and will allocate funds to them as we raise them.
