Tennis, Anyone?

2020 tennis is off to a great start, despite a wet winter that delayed some events at the Tennis Club. In January we hosted a Ladies Boot Camp and a Junior Play Day, and we look forward to a Mardi Gras Tennis and Pickleball Play Day on February 28, as well as Spring Break play in the All-Star Sports Camp.

Cordillera Ranch Tennis Club Ladies Boot Camp

On January 9 and 10, Cordillera Ranch Tennis Club hosted its Second Annual Ladies Tennis Boot Camp. The two-day Boot Camp was a high-energy, two-hour clinic with drills, play-based games and some match play. Some of our members play on USTA teams, some play in fun leagues and others just wanted to burn some calories and work on their game. Participants had a chance to work with different pros as they rotated courts to work on a variety of skills. This year we also featured our Fitness Director Jane Riley as she introduced our tennis players to the TRX and Rip Trainer as one of our court rotations. It was a great two-day workout and we look forward to another in the fall. Thank you to all who participated

Cordillera Ranch Tennis Club Back-to-School Junior Play Day

Cordillera Ranch Tennis Club hosted our first Back-to-School Junior Play Day on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, January 26. We had twenty-one kids of all ages and levels participate. The Play Day consisted of two hours of drills and games on multiple courts. After the games, the group got to hit for targets on the prize court. Prizes included hats, towels, grips, t-shirts and tennis balls. When the prize court was completed, the kids enjoyed pizza and chocolate chip cookies on the Tennis Club patio. It was a great day for the kids at the Cordillera Ranch Tennis Club!

See you on the courts!

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.

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.
