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 and portions of other contests to a community cause/effort. This year, the golf classic was able to donate $750 to the Michele Krahe Peace Scholarship Fund 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.
Twenty-nine foursomes competed – the most ever in this classic history! The golf winners from the CORPORATE GOLF CLASSIC were:
• Corporate Division: St. Bonaventure University with members Steve Campbell, Steve Mest, Cam Myers and Joel Rosencrance.
• Community Division: the Weed Ross Agency with members Chris Blocker, Scott Brady, Joe Palumbo, and Chris Secky.
Other winners included:
• Closest to Pin: John Nick Forrest (#3), Liz Gainers (#7), Mindy Stevenson and Zach Chaddock (#9) and Colleen Taggerty (#11).
• Putting Contest: Lyndsay Cornell won $400 in Shop Olean Gift Certificates.
How it all started: Four Chamber members met with GOACC staff back in the Fall of 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 its 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 2022!
