DINUBA, Calif., May 12, 2008 – KemperSports today announced Rosa Guevara as sales and marketing director of the soon-to-open Ridge Creek Dinuba Golf Club, located 30 miles south of Fresno in Dinuba, Calif. In the near term, Guevara will steer pre-opening sales and marketing initiatives of the area’s first-ever, 18-hole championship golf course, set to debut in July.
Guevara’s professional career includes more than seven years of sales and marketing experience in the Fresno area specifically. Most recently, she served as account coordinator for Thielen IdeaCorp, where her clients included K. Hovnanian Homes and West Hills Community College, among others.
“We’re excited to continue to build the team at Ridge Creek,” said KemperSports’ Joe Wisocki, general manager of Ridge Creek. “With extensive knowledge of the Central California Valley area, Rosa will be a great asset as we prepare to open the golf course this summer.”
Guevara, a native of Orosi, Calif., earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University. She currently resides in Fresno.
Owned by the city of Dinuba and developed by KemperSports, Ridge Creek Dinuba Golf Club is scheduled to open this July. Scottsdale, Ariz.-based John Fought designed the par-72, upscale daily-fee course, strategically incorporating natural grasses and bunkers to produce a heathland golf experience as found in the classic courses of England. Construction of a clubhouse and a state-of-the-art 360-degree practice facility, featuring the largest driving range west of the Rockies, are also nearing completion.
