The PDCA Texas Chapter brought members and friends together September 22 at Houston's Wildcat Golf Club for its 4th Annual Golf Tournament. Golfers enjoyed a day of friendly competition, food, and networking while supporting the Chapter and its scholarship program. Golf was a four person team scramble which mitigated numerous water hazards, steep hills, and angulated greens, and provided a challenging, but fun 18 holes.
PDCA Texas thanks all of the companies that supported this year's tournament: Aggregate Technologies, Inc.; Russell Marine LLC,; Pipe & Tube Supplies, Inc.; PACO Equipment; Lodge Lumber; Weeks Marine; Mitchell Crane; Anchor QEA; International Construction Equipment; Lloyd Engineering, Inc.; Service Steel Warehouse; Meever USA Piling Products; CPS Houston; McCarthy Building Cos.; JD Fields & Company, Inc.; Flexifloat; Dieseko USA; Consolidated Pipe & Supply Co.; Otto Fabricators, LLC; Mustang CAT; and Flexicore of Texas; Colgan; and Professionalism, Innovation & Integrity (P.I.I.).
The tournament continues to be a great opportunity for the Texas driven pile community to connect while investing in the next generation of industry professionals.
