LECOM Health Challenge Offers Opportunities For Many

The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be joining again this year with the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau and Jamestown Renaissance Corporation/Jamestown Up Close to host a visitor’s tent at the LECOM Health Challenge. The joint focus of this partnership is to encourage visitors to Chautauqua County to sample the other outstanding attractions throughout Chautauqua County. Even if they have come here with a primary intent to watch some great golf during this Web.com PGA tour event, we work to let visitors know that there are opportunities galore to see and do things here in our community, from wineries to fishing to museums and entertainment.

At the same time, we want to encourage local residents as well as visitors, to see what the LECOM Health Challenge is all about. This event brings some of the finest golf in the nation right here to our doorstep, and then televises it worldwide on the Golf Channel. The 2018 LECOM Health Challenge is set for July 5-8 on the prestigious Upper Course at Peek’n Peak in Clymer. Official play begins Thursday, July 5, for the first round of competition, with subsequent rounds on Friday, Saturday, and the final round on Sunday, July 8. This is exciting golf to watch and a festive atmosphere for anyone whether you are a golfer or not. Tickets are available online at www.lecomhealthchallenge.com.

If you want to volunteer there are plenty of options as well. Volunteers take on a variety of tasks and help to make the tournament a success. A variety of volunteer shifts are available as well, whether you choose to help out for a clinic, the OnCore Golf Junior Pro-Am, the New Era Pro-Am, or the main tournament. You can learn more or sign up online.

In the past two years the LECOM Health Challenge has donated $235,000 to charitable organizations in the Chautauqua and Erie communities and landed its champion golfers, Rick Lamb and Chesson Hadley, on the PGA tour. We urge you to visit the LECOM Health Challenge and see some of the finest golf in our region.
