  • 2021 CIF/SCGA Socal Boy's Regional Golf Championship
    2021 CIF/SCGA SoCal Boy’s Regional Golf Championship Tuesday, June 15, 2021 Brookside Golf Club (Course #1) Pasadena, CA To: All Administrators, Coaches and Athletes From: Ron Nocetti, CIF Executive Director Re: Expectations For Schools, Coaches And Student-Athletes In Pursuing Victory With Honorsm The CIF was formed during the 1914-15 school year with 65,000 high school students in California and less than 8,000 students participating on their high school teams. Today, there are over 1.8 million high school students with more than 830,000 participating for their school teams. Education-based athletics will continue to thrive because of the life lessons it imparts on our young people. Several years ago, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) launched the #MyReasonWhy campaign. The intent behind it was to demonstrate why we (student-athletes, coaches, administrators, parents and fans) are all involved in high school sports. Recently, the CIF resurrected this campaign to once again demonstrate the real reasons why education-based athletics is so impactful on our lives. Our 10 Section Offices communicated with our member schools asking them to have their student-athletes, coaches and administrators post on various social media platforms #MyReasonWhy. We encourage you to watch/read some of these and to post your own. Whether you are a student-athlete, or coach, parent or administrator, official or fan, we all have our reason why. It is no secret that our student-athletes are inherently drawn to sport because it is fun and because of the connection it develops between them and their peers, coaches and school community.

  • Adam Scott Former UNLV Golfer and Current PGA Tour Star
    “Coach, you are on a roll for developing such great players AND quality kids." --- Jim Nantz Broadcaster, CBS Sports "The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf educa- tion, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories. UNLV is a part of the journey that I am on and taught me so much. I am a proud Rebel!" --- Adam Scott Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour star "Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can't even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the differ- ence between winning and losing." --- Ryan Moore Former UNLV star, current PGA Tour golfer and Ryder Cup Champion "If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level." --- Hank Haney Leading golf instructor "I couldn't be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight. Coach worked with me from the start and helped me with my short game and I saw immediate improvements. I still almost exclusively work with Coach on my short game.

    PRESS RELEASE MARDAN CHASES NEW LEADER COETZEE AT AFRASIA BANK MAURITIUS OPEN Domaine de Bel Ombre, Mauritius, May 9: Veteran Singaporean Mardan Mamat battled to a four-under-par 67 to lie three strokes behind new leader George Coetzee after the third round of the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on Saturday. The four-time Asian Tour winner traded five birdies against a bogey at the Heritage Golf Club to lie in solo fourth position heading into the final day of the €1 million (approximately US$1.1 million) tournament tri-sanctioned by the Asian, European and Sunshine Tours. South African star Coetzee equaled the course record with a brilliant 65 to surge one shot ahead of countryman Thomas Aiken and overnight leader Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark who returned a 68 and 70 respectively. Asian Tour regular Carlos Pigem of Spain dropped two late bogeys for a 69 to earn a share of fifth place with amongst others, Australian Nathan Holman, four back of Coetzee, who leads on 11-under-par 202. Power-packed Coetzee, who is ranked 63rd in the world, crafted four birdies on the card and holed out for a stunning eagle from the fairway on the par five seventh hole to charge into contention for a career seventh victory at the magnificent Heritage course. “As I walked off the course, I told my manager I don’t know how I’m shooting under par the way I’m playing, but obviously the course must suit my eye pretty well,” smiled the 28-year-old. “I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out in the end.

  • Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.

    PGA TOUR Player Quotes on TPC Boston PHIL MICKELSON : “This is one of my favorite courses we play on TOUR. I think it's one of the best courses we play on TOUR. It's got a lot of character and definition, but more than that it's got a great mixture of holes, from long par-5s to reachable par-5s to drivable par-4s to really long par-4s, the fescue grass, the rough. It's just a wonderful way to play the game where you have such a great mixture of every club in your bag. You have birdie opportunities, you have tough pars as opposed to some courses nowadays where it's just hard, hard, hard. Hard is hard, but it's not great, it's not fun. But this golf course is a great golf course, and it's a fun golf course to play.” CHARLEY HOFFMAN: ... you obviously feel good going back to a course you've played well on in the past, and what they've done in the redesign at TPC Boston is unbelievable from the first year I played until now. It's really transformed, and it's one of my favorite golf courses on TOUR for sure. STEVE STRICKER: “I enjoy coming here to Boston… I enjoy this course. I really like what they've done here the last few years, Brad Faxon and (architect Gil Hanse) in the redesign of it all. I really like it…the condition of the course is very good. It’s a fun course … I think it’s a good test.
