Golf

Happy New Year! I wanted to take an opportunity to share with you some of the exciting things we are working on for 2012.
There were a number of successful events last year that we hope to build on this year. Most notably, the Men’s Golf Association Cup Qualifying will be in its second year and should continue to grow in popularity. The first MGA event of the year will be the MGA Kick-Off Scramble set for Saturday January 28th. The Cordillera Women’s Golf Association will have their first official event of the year on Wednesday January 11th with a 4-Person Scramble. The entire 2012 Member Tournament Schedule can now be found online at www.clubsofcordilleraranch.com by clicking on the Golf Calendar. I hope you will find time this year to participate in some of the tournaments as they are a great way to test yourself as well as meet new friends.

Enhancing Your Golf Experience in 2012:
In an effort to highlight winners of some Cordillera Ranch’s most prestigious golf events, we have been working on the Cordillera Ranch Champions Gallery. The Champions Gallery is a way to recognize the winners of many of our major tournaments and this project nearing completion and will serve as a great way to honor our champions.

New for 2012 is the ability for our members to now enter their own scores into the GHIN Online Handicap System. This gives our members great flexibility and a chance to learn even more about handicapping as well as their own game from GHIN reports that are available to them through the system.

An event registration system will be introduced to clubsofcordilleraranch.com and will provide easily accessible information regarding event details and make it more convenient to sign-up and participate. This option may not be utilized for every tournament, but look for it to be introduced for a few of the bigger events this year.

Finally, we have a few travel opportunities this year through the Cordillera Ranch Signature Vacations series. We will be traveling to Vail, Colorado in March for a ski trip as well as a great golf and outdoor adventure return trip to Maui Hawaii in later spring as well. In September, I will be traveling with some members to the great destination of Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

We are always looking for ways to grow and improve our golf operation so please let us know if you have any suggestions that will help us improve the member golf experience here at the Clubs of Cordillera Ranch. It is a goal of mine to play more golf this year so please keep me or any of our professional staff in mind if you have an opening in your group. Best wishes for a great New Year!

See you on the course,

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
