Welcome

Since the fall of 2008, Cordillera Ranch Living magazine has been a great resource for Cordillera Ranch residents, members and those curious about the Cordillera Ranch lifestyle. As the magazine has grown and captured more and more readers, we have continued to broaden its content and story base to meet not just the interests of Cordillera Ranch residents and members, but those interested in the lifestyle in Cordillera Ranch, Boerne and the Hill Country.

 

So, with that in mind, welcome to the all new Cordillera Ranch Living. We have significantly increased the variety of content in the magazine, and we hope that you find the refreshed look, layout and features entertaining and engaging. From interior design to art to family articles, this magazine now truly represents the finest in Cordillera Ranch and Hill Country living. If you don’t live here quite yet, we trust that the articles you are about to read will only deepen your desire to breathe deeply amongst the beauty of our area.

 

As for our cover, we were lucky enough to spend some time with Cordillera Ranch resident Rose Monday and Maggie Vessey. Rose is one of the most respected 800m coaches in the world, and is also one of the coaches for Team USA’s Track and Field teams for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Maggie is currently a world-class 800m runner that is training with Rose, and has her sights also set on the Olympic Games. It’s a fascinating story about two women, 25 years apart, bonded by shared desires to fulfill dreams in a discipline they are amazingly passionate about and – though they have tried- neither seem to be able to retire from it.

 

Again, I truly hope that you enjoy this May/June 2012 issue of Cordillera Ranch Living. A lot of work goes into the magazine, and we are constantly looking to improve. If you ever have a suggestion, idea or critique…I’d love to hear it. Drop me an e-mail anytime.

 

Enjoy the read,

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.

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.

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.
