STUART REID / President, Southern Nevada Golf Association

Contribution to prep sports: A member of the SNGA's board of directors since 1979, Reid is also a longtime member of the United State's Golf Association rules committee and has officiated U.S. Opens, NCAA Championships and Senior U.S. Opens over the years. Despite his busy schedule, he still finds time to work with young golfers, officiating local high school events like Tuesday's 4A Southern Zone Championship. "This is really where it starts for me," Reid said. "It's so important for the developing younger players." Reid works closely with Southern Nevada Junior Golf Association Executive Director Jane Schlosser to help get young players started in the sport and also helps coach regional all-star teams that compete against competition nationwide." We've had so many kids go on to success and that's nice to see," Reid said. "The Southern Nevada Golf Association has 14,000 members and we've beaten teams from Northern and Southern California, where they have more than 150,000 members."

JANE SCHLOSSER / Executive Director, Southern Nevada Junior Golf Association

Contribution to prep sports: Since getting involved in the SNJGA when her son was five-years-old, Schlosser has become its most fervent supporter, working to develop young golfers, both with her own organization and through the area's high schools. The tournament director for this week's 4A Southern Zone Championship, Schlosser is responsible for securing golf courses for postseason events, hiring a staff of rule officials and volunteers to run the event and making sure the event runs smoothly. "It's the kids -- that's why I do it," Schlosser said. "When I come here and I see kids I knew when they were five, that's what keeps me coming back -- watching these kids grow and achieve successful lives." Schlosser's daughter, Annie, is a living SNJGA success story -- earning a golf scholarship to Missouri after graduating from Valley High last year.
