KERRVILLE, TEXAS - MACOSKO'S

We haven’t been posting lately because we’ve been spending time with our friends, Bob & Gerry Macosko in Kerrville, which is just 65 miles up Interstate 10 from San Antonio.  Kerrville is a small town (20,000) in the hill country of Texas, situated right on the Guadalupe river.  The area is very beautiful with rolling hills and lots of green foliage. 

The Macosko’s are good friends from Venice who moved here in January to be closer to one of their kids.  For those of you who know them, let me tell you that their new home (shown below) is beautiful and is just about the same size as what they had in Pelican Pointe.  They live on a beautiful 27 hole golf course (Comanche Trace) in what appears to me to be the nicest development in Kerrville.  We spent four days with them and they have really shown us the entire area.  This seems to be a wonderful area to live, if you’re into small towns.  The weather is nice, with four seasons but no snow.  Bob plays golf on the local golf course and loves it.  They both seem very comfortable here and Bailey is very happy with his fenced back yard.

 
Another couple from Venice, Don & Judy Coombs also moved here.  Don is a member of Comanche Trace and invited Bob & I to play with him.  The course is beautiful but very difficult, primarily because of it's super quick greens.  I don't think I've ever played a course with faster greens!  The six of us went to the club for a wonderful dinner and then back to Don's beautiful house on the golf course for a nightcap.  Below is a picture of the clubhouse which sits on the pinnacle of a hill.  The other picture is of the three girls (Judy, Janie & Gerry) at the club.
