GOMACO Invitational #37 will go down in the record books as the year we dodged thunderstorms, but were still able to enjoy two great days of golfing, and spend time with our friends in the industry. Thank you to everyone for traveling to our small hometown of Ida Grove, Iowa, and joining us for two days of fun golfing events.
The GOMACO Invitational is our way of saying "thank you" for choosing our paving products, and to thank our business partners for their support through the years. Thank you again for coming, and we hope to see you at #38 in September 2019.
Every year, we build this special web site where you can relive some of the fun and excitement of the two-day event. We have included listings of the participants, sponsors, teams, winners, and feature many of the photos taken by the GOMACO Advertising Department. If you click on any photo, it will enlarge and allow you to flip through all of the photos on that page. Feel free to browse through the pages of this web site to re-experience #37!
GOMACO Invitational #37 brought together the concrete construction industry on September 18 and 19, 2018. We had a total of 238 participate in the two-person Putting Tournament on Tuesday, and 311 in the big four-person, 18-hole Scramble Tournament on Wednesday on golf courses in Ida Grove, Holstein, Mapleton, and Odebolt.
