“Winning this year’s event was a notable improvement from last year’s third-place finish,” shared Bill Fyffe, Vice President of Operations for the Water Group at Bowen Engineering. “The tournament provided an excellent opportunity for networking and building relationships within the industry. Our partnership with Brandeis Machinery is instrumental in bringing advanced technology to our projects, and we appreciate the support they provide our company.”

Jacob Hopper, Regional Sales Manager in Indianapolis for Brandeis Machinery, emphasized the event’s value in strengthening customer relations.

“The tournament brings in customers from across the state,” emphasized Hopper. “The construction industry is very tight knit. It’s a very close community, with many of them competing against each other for 15 to 20 years. For them to get to spend a little time on the golf course and have a friendly rivalry is fun for everyone.”

Aside from business networking, the tournament was infused with a competitive spirit.

“Competitions like the longest drive and closest to the pin, along with generous raffle prizes from our sponsors, added a dimension of fun and engagement to the event,” Hopper explained.
