OLEAN -- The GOACC Corporate Golf Classic pits businesses against businesses in a heated competition to be deemed CORPORATE winners (and COMMUNITY winners!). The event also donates the 50/50 to a community cause/effort. This year, the golf classic was able to donate $750 to the DW Memorial Scholarship Fund (in memory of Dennis Jones and Wayne Johnston) with the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation. The event was happy to be able to support this program and to help with our community’s quality of life through this donation.

The golf winners from the CORPORATE GOLF CLASSIC were for the Corporate Division, Siemens Energy – Marcus Aiello, Jean-Mark Carney, DJ Dick, and RK Brokaw; and for the Community Division, Allen’s Liquor and Wine Store -- Vic Vena, John Petruzzi, Rhonda Callahan, and Shawn Callahan. Thirty-three foursomes competed – most ever in this classic history.
Other winners included: Closest to Pin – Tony Burke (#3), Scott Derwick (#7), and Longest Drive – Amanda Wright (#18). A putting contest was also held. Daniel DeMarte won $350 in Shop Olean Gift Certificates in first place and Lindsey Bowser $150 in certificates in second place.
Four Chamber members met with GOACC staff back in Fall 2013 regarding the highly successful Corporate Challenge 5K. Ledgie DeRose, Jeff Crouch, Frank Higgins, and Scott Derwick all have participated (or their companies) in the run/walk but wanted to add another dimension to the corporate challenge. That day, the 1st GOACC Corporate GOLF Classic was developed!
The committee appreciates the corporate and business support in our Annual Classic. Although it was a competition to see who’s the best of the best, there was loads of camaraderie, networking and plain ole fun on the course! Hope to see you around the greens in 2024!
