How did you come to work at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch?

CL: With desire and devotion to the golf course industry, I knew the opportunity to work at Cordillera would be a blessing. I applied for the opening and now here I am, enjoying it.

PD: Jim Osbourne (used to work at Cordillera Ranch) was the superintendent at my last course and mentioned

Cordillera Ranch needed a qualified Equipment Manager.

What is your past work history that prepared you for The Clubs?

CL: While attending Western Texas College in the turf grass management program, I accomplished two summer internships with Colonial Country Club in Ft. Worth. After graduating, I spent time as an Assistant Superintendent at Pine Tree Golf Club in Boynton Beach. Returning back to Texas, I was the Superintendent at The Club at Waterford in Marble Falls, then Superintendent at Blue Lake Golf Club in Horseshoe Bay.

PD: I have worked at many types of clubs from 36-hole executive, 18 semi and private, to 45-hole resort, all of which I learned something new from and continually try to improve myself and course conditions.

What makes your colleagues an asset to The Clubs?

CL: The GCM team works extremely hard to provide a beautiful golf course for our members. The job requires long hours in the heat of the summer. All crew members have importance with every little job they do. We all get a reward by noticing the improvements and compliments as they come.

PD: Everyone has an important role in maintaining the course, and our team works together to prepare the course each day for members.

What has been your most rewarding professional experience?

CL: Probably working the Crown Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club.

PD: Being asked to help the GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendents Association of America) on the Equipment Manager’s task group that is helping to promote and improve the Equipment Manager image for future technicians.

What do you like most about working at Cordillera Ranch?

CL: I love the property. The great Hill Country truly shows her beauty out here.

PD: The opportunity to exceed member’s expectations of the golf course conditions.

What are your hobbies and interests?

CL: I’m actually an avid golfer and played collegiate golf while attending WTC. I enjoy hitting the ball around when I get an opportunity. I also love to work on my yard and landscape at home.

PD: Obtaining a private pilot’s license.

Favorite quote or motto?

CL: Hard Work Pays Off

PD: The pursuit of excellence and innovation – KMHS Marching Band

Camp season is officially on!

Our lineup of Summer Camps packs each week with adventure, skill building, new friendships and the kind of memories kids talk about long after school starts again. Whether your little Rancher is perfecting their golf swing, working on their serve, playing with horses, creating works of art, splashing in the pool or exploring the natural beauty of the Ranch, there’s a perfect fit for every kid’s curiosity. Our counselors bring high-quality instruction and tons of enthusiasm. And some new camps this year add to the fun! So, let’s trade in screen time for game playing and trying new experiences this summer!

Cellar Club

Great 8

In this edition, I was assigned the daunting task of coming up with five wines that everybody should have in their cellar. My mind searched through the thousands of bottles that I have ever tasted, and then the tens of thousands of wines that I have researched throughout my career.
This has left us with the following list, which became Jeff’s Great 8. These wines are extremely rare and hard to find, and especially come with a huge cost.

And maybe a little bit for the golf.
