Winter Break Updates from Nevada Men's Golf

Pack Nine News - The Official Newsletter of Nevada Men's Golf

Nevada Men’s Golf Supporters,

Happy New Year!

It has been about a month since we last saw the team, and the guys are returning to campus from winter break this week. We are one month out from our first tournament of the spring and are planning to drive over the mountain this weekend to get a couple rounds in (Winchester, Stanford, Harding Park) before class starts back up.

We completed the fall semester with the highest GPA we’ve had during my tenure here by a large margin! Our long term goals are to have the highest male team GPA and maintain an average over 3.5. One thing we talk about with our team often is “how you do anything is how you do everything” and the effort and dedication they have shown in the classroom will soon show up on the course as well.

Thanks to all of you who joined us for our watch party at X-Golf Reno in December! We are working on our various event dates for 2025 and hope you will be able to come join us. We will pass along some “save the dates” once we have them finalized.

Your support is crucial to our success. 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.
