About Nevada State Women’s Quad

In 2001, the Nevada State Women’s Golf Association board of directors was seeking ways to increase participation. A new tournament was needed, and it seemed that the majority of ladies wanted a team event to fulfill the goal. The Nevada State Women’s Quad was created and first played in 2002. Over the years, many of the state’s best players have won the tournament as part of powerhouse teams, while players of all levels have enjoyed the net portion of the tournament. –By Brian Hurlburt, Las Vegas Golf Insider.

“I always feel that the team play is intense competition, even though some think playing on a team is easier,” says Las Vegas Golf Hall of Famer Brenda Knott, a member of one of those powerhouse teams mentioned in the intro. “I remember watching the group in front of us on the second day one year tearing up the course. There was lots of high-fiving and celebrating.  Laurie Johnson and I looked at each other on the 13^th hole and said, ‘we need to step it up.’ We pulled out a win by one stroke, thank goodness.”

According to Sherry Jackson, a NSWGA committee member and Women’s SNGA tournament director, the team of Knott, Doe Emes, Johnson and Rita Byorick won the tournament five-straight times during one colossal stretch, a feat unmatched in Quad history.
