Nick Sellers and his co-workers from Peterson and Myers have been participating in the Annual Lakeland Chamber Golf Scramble for six to seven years.
He and his team love supporting the Chamber through the event, as it offers a great opportunity to have a great time and fellowship with fellow golfers on the links.
Sellers and his teammates became the grand champions at this year’s event, hosted on Monday at the Lone Palm Golf Club in Lakeland. They won with a total par gross of -19 and a total gross of 53. He owed his success to the great gameplay by his teammate, Brad Stainsby.
“It was a good time with good fellowship,” he said. “It is a good event in comparison to other scrambles.”
Approximately 17 teams and a total of 107 attendees participated in this year’s golf scramble. They arrived around 8 AM with the shoot-off starting at 9 AM. The event concluded at 2 PM, where the players gathered for lunch and the opportunity to win prizes through a 50/50 raffle.
Nichole Martinez, Coordinator of Events at the Lakeland Chamber, owes the event’s success to the good partnership the Chamber has with the golf resort. Proceeds from the event will go towards the Chamber’s many programs and services to its local business partners.
“It was overall a wonderful experience,” she said. “Everyone had a great time.”
