From Wine and Beyond…

In this edition, I want to invite everybody to the many wine events that will be coming up this year. We have tried to spread the events out and we have many newcomers to the Club. We have also tried to build a diversity of events so that each will be fresh and enjoyable to attend. We will have wines from Howell Mountain, Napa, Alexander Valley, Paso Robles and possibly a collection from Italy. A few of the wine dinners will consist of wineries that we will be visiting on the upcoming Napa trip in July. These have been notated with an asterisk.

I would now like switch gears to St. Patrick’s Day and leave you with a couple of cocktails to master at home or enjoy at the Club. The first is a great dessert; the second is superbly simplistic.

Enjoy!

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.

Staff Profile

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.
