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. UNLV was the perfect university to go to for helping me get to where I am now in my career." --- Chad Campbell Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour player "Coach Knight has the ability to keep the putting process very simple and his teaching sessions are always a positive experi- ence. No matter where you are with your putting stroke, he can bring you around to a comfortable stroke that you can trust. He took me from an average putter entering college to a putting stroke which has allowed me to earn a living on the PGA Tour.

  • Tax Sand Traps for Ernie Els and Other Pro Athletes South Africa’S Ernie Els Won the 141St British Open and Should Be Relishing His Success, Not Worrying About Taxes
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER Jul. 24 2012 — 12:00 am Tax Sand Traps For Ernie Els And Other Pro Athletes South Africa’s Ernie Els won the 141st British Open and should be relishing his success, not worrying about taxes. Even less successful professional golfers may not engender much sympathy. The money seems incredible, the work seems better than Ernie Els of South Africa holds the Claret Jug, 'The what most of us do for a Golf Champion Trophy' after winning the 2012 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham and St living, and the adoring fans Annes in Lytham, north-west England, on July 22, 2012. Els won the championship with a score of 273, and media seem generally one shot clear of Adam Scott of Australia. (Image supportive. And think of that credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) endorsement income! Still, if you’ve ever waged a tax battle—or even had difficulty trying to figure out something that is supposedly simple—you might feel differently. Imagine not just dealing with the IRS or your own home country’s tax rules. Suppose you earn income in various countries and must apportion it and pay tax in many different places? Welcome to the world of the professional athlete. For the British Open, it isn’t only winnings that are at stake. It is also endorsement income. The UK’s tax collector, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, does a shipshape job of revenue collection and administration, some say better than the IRS. In fact, even those who did not make The Open cut and didn’t earn money from the tournament must pay taxes on endorsements.

  • 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.
