The annual Sportspal 2 Man Challenge was played at Osprey Links on the weekend.

An exciting event from start to finish, the actual winners of the tournament did not come from the championship flight, but instead from the first flight, with Doug Gorrill and Chris Derochie shooting 74 Saturday (2 Man Best Ball) and followed up with a 59 (2 Man Scramble) Sunday for a two-day total of 133.

Also, Norm Ethier of Sturgeon Falls aced the 172 yard eighth hole Sunday. His playing partner was Dennis Lafreniere.  It was also the featured hole in one sponsored by Blue Sky Financial Network, and Ethier and Lafreniere shared $5,000.
