RE/MAX charity golf scramble raises $30,000 for Children’s Miracle Network

RE/MAX Premier Realty raised over $30,000 during their annual charity golf scramble to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network on Friday at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Del Webb Spruce Creek.

The event played host to 100 golfers with dozens of local businesses donating items to the silent auction. Each of the 26 teams consisted of four players in a traditional scramble format. A raffle and a 50/50 drawing were also incorporated to raise additional funds for the organization.

The top two teams tied at 16-under-par (56), and the overall winners were decided by a scorecard-tiebreaker.

Team Landmark (Robby Gibson, Joe Cioe, Rob Cross, and Sam Latiff) won the tiebreaker, while Team AllState finished in second place (56), and Team Nation Group finished in third place (59).
