More than 125 golfers teed off at the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill’s annual golf tournament at Eagle Ridge Golf Club Aug. 22, raising more than $34,000, the largest amount ever.

Event financial success is dependent on sponsors and this year’s golf tournament was supported by Ladera Grill, Johnson Lumber/ACE Hardware and RNP Financial.
