The Golf Club, 2024

By:

Corey Roberson, Director of Golf

Before we dive into the Golf Calendar for 2024, I’d like to congratulate our 2023 Champions.

Club Champion – Philip Earnest

Ladies’ Club Champion – Jennifer Hocking

Senior Club Champion – Ron Trevino

Junior Club Champions – Bradford Morris & Julia Hansen

Men’s Match Play – Ron Trevino

Ladies’ Match Play – Julia Roth

C-Star Member/Guest – Jay Harpole & Nick Altomare

El Compadre Member/Member – Bill Clements & Nick Schommer

Cordillera Cup – Team Northington

As we jump into 2024, the tournament schedule is very similar to past years with a couple of small changes. We are moving the Cordillera Cup — the annual battle between Team Hill and Team Northington — back to the fall. In addition, we are adding a Couples Championship — it will be a one-day best ball competition for all our competitive couples at the Club. Last year, we made a change to our Match Play Championship by conducting it over three consecutive days. That structure will remain in 2024, and then in 2025 and 2026, it will be conducted over a three-month period where players will schedule the matches on their own. Every two years, it will alternate between the two structures.

Happy New Year, and I’ll 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.

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.
