Customer Appreciation Golf Outings

Fun for all

Customer golf outings in full swing this summer for RMS

Road Machinery & Supplies Co. hosted its annual Customer Appreciation Golf Outings this summer in Iowa and Minnesota.

More than 100 customers, employees and vendors showed up for the revamped Minnesota event. After eight summers at Cragun’s Resort in Gull Lake, Minn., the Minnesota event moved to Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minn., at The Meadows golf course.

More than 100 customers, employees and vendors attend RMS’ Minnesota Customer Appreciation Golf Outing at The Meadows at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake.

“Mystic Lake was the perfect site, and it was just a few minutes from the Savage branch,” said Vice President of Sales Ben Schmidtlein. “The location made it a lot easier for more customers in the Twin Cities and central Minnesota to attend.”

For the second straight year, Iowa customers descended on Riverside Casino and the Blue Top Ridge golf course in Riverside. Nearly 70 attendees enjoyed perfect temperatures and a day on the course.

“We lucked out with the weather this year at both events,” said Schmidtlein. “These are fun events to plan and attend. It’s fun to see customers interact with our RMS team and manufacturers in a low-pressure environment.”

Each event features 18 holes of golf, hole challenges, door prizes, dinner and entertainment at the respective casinos.

“Oversized” putter

Making its debut at the events this summer was a Komatsu PC45MR excavator decked out with a customized machine wrap and a putter head from Werk-Brau. Attendees had the opportunity to putt with the machine to win prizes.

“Werk-Brau had this idea and brought it to us, and it was a hit,” said Schmidtlein. “The customers all got a kick out of it, and it added something different and fun to the events.”
