Happy New Year! I wanted to take an opportunity to share with you some of the exciting things we are working on for 2012.
There were a number of successful events last year that we hope to build on this year. Most notably, the Men’s Golf Association Cup Qualifying will be in its second year and should continue to grow in popularity. The first MGA event of the year will be the MGA Kick-Off Scramble set for Saturday January 28th. The Cordillera Women’s Golf Association will have their first official event of the year on Wednesday January 11th with a 4-Person Scramble. The entire 2012 Member Tournament Schedule can now be found online at www.clubsofcordilleraranch.com by clicking on the Golf Calendar. I hope you will find time this year to participate in some of the tournaments as they are a great way to test yourself as well as meet new friends.

Enhancing Your Golf Experience in 2012:
In an effort to highlight winners of some Cordillera Ranch’s most prestigious golf events, we have been working on the Cordillera Ranch Champions Gallery. The Champions Gallery is a way to recognize the winners of many of our major tournaments and this project nearing completion and will serve as a great way to honor our champions.

New for 2012 is the ability for our members to now enter their own scores into the GHIN Online Handicap System. This gives our members great flexibility and a chance to learn even more about handicapping as well as their own game from GHIN reports that are available to them through the system.

An event registration system will be introduced to clubsofcordilleraranch.com and will provide easily accessible information regarding event details and make it more convenient to sign-up and participate. This option may not be utilized for every tournament, but look for it to be introduced for a few of the bigger events this year.

Finally, we have a few travel opportunities this year through the Cordillera Ranch Signature Vacations series. We will be traveling to Vail, Colorado in March for a ski trip as well as a great golf and outdoor adventure return trip to Maui Hawaii in later spring as well. In September, I will be traveling with some members to the great destination of Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

We are always looking for ways to grow and improve our golf operation so please let us know if you have any suggestions that will help us improve the member golf experience here at the Clubs of Cordillera Ranch. It is a goal of mine to play more golf this year so please keep me or any of our professional staff in mind if you have an opening in your group. Best wishes for a great New Year!

See you on the course,

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

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.

Outdoors

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.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. 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.
