Letter from the President:

In 1988, the Rebel Golf Foundation was formed to encourage and promote a UNLV Men’s Golf program and compete at the highest level of collegiate athletics and academics. With the support of the Board and all the Rebel Golf Foundation members, the foundation continues to remain strong and provide the financial support that the UNLV Men’s Golf Team needs to continue to flourish both on and off the golf course. The Board will continue in the coming year to pursue its fund raising efforts in order to continue the mandate of the foundation.

This organization was started by community leaders in Southern and continues to be supported by community leaders, former players and their parents, and other interested parties who love the game of golf. The Rebel Golf Foundation works in conjunction with UNLV’s President, Athletic Director, and Golf Coaches to further the efforts of the UNLV Men’s Golf Team by providing financial assistance and counsel. With that support, the UNLV Men’s Golf Team has become a golf program with a national reputation for athletic excellence, scholarship and personal achievement. The important annual contributions of the Rebel Golf Foundation’s approximately 200 members, combined with other outside contributions, will assure the contin- ued growth of the program’s endowment. The annual contributions of the members of the Rebel Golf Foundation are critical to the health and financial stability of this foundation. On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of those who benefit from the Rebel Golf Foundation, we thank each member and contributor for their support.

As the 2014 campaign begins, there are currently five former Rebels with PGA Tour playing privileges, and seven who have at least one or more PGA Tour victories. Two former Rebels won this past year on the PGA Tour, including the program's first major, Adam Scott in the Masters. Three other former Rebels will be playing the Web.com Tour. While the Rebel Golf Foundation is extremely proud of these young men for their accomplishments on the golf course, we are equally proud of how they handle themselves professionally, their loyalty to the university, and to the Rebel Golf program. The Foundation is also proud of all the former players who pursued careers in other professions, becoming businessmen, attorneys, leaders in their communities, and even assistant golf coaches. With your continued contribution and the hard work of my fellow board members and officers, the Rebel Golf Foundation can continue to help our student athletes receive a quality education while annually competing for a national championship. Through the combined efforts of the Rebel Golf Foundation, Coach Knight, Coach Deacon, and your efforts, we can maintain one of the preeminent collegiate golf programs in the country.

“Success in the classroom is essential to success on the golf course, so we offer our student-athletes as much support academically as they get athletically. Academics are and must remain the top priority for our student-athletes.” -- David Wedley, Men's Golf Academic Advisor

In 2004-05, UNLV had eight such honorees - a group that was led by former student-athlete Ryan Moore, who was named a second team Academic All-American. Moore was just the second Rebel ever to earn that distinction. Over the last decade, Rebel golf has had 12 All-America Scholars and four Academic All-Americans.

The UNLV men’s golf program has a current string of 20 straight semesters with a 3.0 team grade point average or higher and the squad's 3.34 team GPA in the spring of 2007 was its highest since fall of 1996. In the fall of 2011, the team earned a 3.21 cumulative GPA.

18TH HOle The finishing hole is the longest on the course, a massive 622-yard, par 5. The fairway is bisected by a stream. Playing the hole uphill and to the left is more dangerous but presents a shorter route and a better shot into the green. Taking the low road to the right will keep you out of trouble most of the way, but leaves you with a blind shot across water to the green. The choice is all yours.

-- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

8TH HOle Though the par-3 eighth hole is only 167 yards, the combination of water and sand in front of the green can make its length a bit deceiving. Club selection is critical. Trust the yardage book and make your mistakes long. Short is trouble.

17TH HOle No. 17 at Southern Highlands is one of the most challenging par 3's you're likely to face. It's 217 yards from the back tee with water flowing from here all the way around the peninsula green. Sand protects the front right and back left green so there's not much room for error.

5TH HOle The fifth hole is a short, 365-yard, par 4 that dares players to fire at the green from the tee. However, to do so, you must carry water all the way. The more prudent will use a long-iron or fairway wood from the tee and be left with a short pitch to the green. schedule COmPeTe AGAiNsT THe besT

The Rebels’ schedule will carry them from the desert southwest of Arizona and New Mexico, west to the California Coast, down south to Alabama and Florida, north to Ohio, and across the ocean to Hawaii. The Mountain West Championship will be played in Tucson, Ariz., for an eighth consecutive year, while the NCAA Regionals will be held at six different sites for the sixth time. The Rebels will also play right here in Las Vegas in March when they host the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. This year's NCAA Championship will be played in Hutchinson, Kan., at Prairie Dunes Golf Club.

To help its student-athletes balance the rigorous demands of the college curriculum with its intense travel schedule, UNLV flies to some of its tournaments via private jet. Thanks to the support of many local enterprises, the Rebels are able to reduce both travel time and missed classes, and find more opportunities to focus on academics. Physical Therapy

ebel golfers have the incomparable opportunity to come under the tutelage of one of the nation’s Rleaders in physical therapy, Keith Kleven. A clinical educator and researcher, Kleven has bachelor’s and master’s degrees and served a one year residency in physical therapy under the school of Physical Therapy and Medicine at the University of Southern California, and is a certified athletic trainer. Kleven has been a groundbreaker in his emerging field for more than 30 years and has been directly involved with the UNLV golf program since 1989. He was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame as part of its 2005 class. Currently the owner/director of the Keith Kleven Institute of Orthopaedic Sports and Dance Rehabilitation in Las Vegas, he is a clinical instructor for 18 colleges KeiTHKeiTH KleveN and universities as well as the personal trainer and Professor of Physical Therapy therapist for many U.S. sports teams, professional teams, professional athletes Kleven speaks at Rebel Golf Day at and entertainers. , Mark O’Meara, Chris Riley, John Southern Highlands Golf Club. Cook and Emilee Klein are just some of the professional golfers who have worked with Kleven. “Keith has been with us from the start, and I think, physically, there is no better trainer in the world,” said UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight. “You can see who has trained with him: Mark O’Meara, Tiger Woods, plus our team and all the other great athletes. He is absolutely the best. If a person is really serious about playing professional golf and reaching the highest level they can, he is the kind of trainer you would look for. He is so individually specific, which is what makes him such a valuable part of our program. We are very fortunate to have him on campus as a professor and have him in our program. There is no question that without his support and help we would not be a top program.” Presently doing research in injury prevention and training to enhance golf performance, Kleven is also the author of numerous articles and is a highly sought-after speaker.
