 On August 4th, Sidock Group held it’s 3rd annual company golf outing at the Links of Whitmore Lake.  This outing is organized for employees and spouses/family members from both offices, and is played in a scramble format.  Event planner Steve DeHorn’s team, consisting of Steve with his wife Allison and Rob Gundry with his fiancée Lisa, ran away with it, finishing at 9 under.  Two teams tied for second, 7 strokes back, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Steve stacked his team.  Despite this, we all thank and congratulate Steve for a fine event and look forward to next year.

 Sidock Group, Inc. participates in 3rd annual Marathon Open Fishing Tournament
In early June, a group of Sidock employees traveled down to the Florida keys to participate in the Company’s 3rd annual Marathon Open Fishing Tournament.  Our usual competitor, Metro Industrial Contracting, was unable to make the trip this year, so the three Sidock boats competed against each other.  As in the past, Mahi Mahi was the target species, however, as the Mahi fishing was extremely slow, other species were eventually targeted including Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna.  Highlights included a 34 lb. Blackfin, caught by Jerry Bole of our Muskegon office, and (3) 28 lb. Mahi landed on the boat led by President Bill Sidock, a veteran Keys angler.  While the fishing was slow, the weather was beautiful and the group enjoyed a number of other recreational activities such as snorkeling in Bahia Honda and wandering the streets of Key West.  We all look forward to next year's trip!
