2016 C-Star Member-Guest Recap

What an incredible finish to the C-Star Member-Guest tournament in October! Charlie Hill and his guest from Oak Hills, Michael Sedlak, captured the championship this year with a stunning Shoot-Out victory.  They defeated Larry Harper and his guest from The Dominion, Jesse Guerra, on the last hole when Michael hit a great chip from the front of the green to ensure their par, and Larry and Jesse were not able to navigate a two-putt from long distance. We had the usual drama throughout the Shoot-Out as this particular format lends itself to a ton of excitement and fun for all of the teams participating as well as the spectators! Congratulations to all of the flight winners! New for this year, the Overall Champions and Flight Winners all received a custom buckle or money clip from the renowned Clint Orms Silversmiths. Thanks to everyone who played and supported the tournament this year.

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
