⛳🚛 Thank You for Joining Us at the First Annual Golf Outing! 🚛⛳

We would like to thank everyone who came out to participate in the First Annual Golf Outing, held in conjunction with the 6th Annual Michigan Towing Association Tow Picnic in Frankenmuth.

We were excited to host 18 golfers for a fun scramble filled with friendly competition, great conversation, and prizes to wrap up the day. Following the outing, everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner and cold drinks after a beautiful day on the course.

This inaugural event proved to be a great addition to Tow Picnic weekend and a wonderful opportunity for members of the towing and recovery industry to connect outside of the day-to-day demands of the job.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the outing a success. We look forward to growing this event and welcoming even more golfers and participants next year!

Until then, keep the ball in the fairway and the wheels turning! ⛳🚛💪
