The Durham College (DC) Lords and University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) Ridgebacks rivalry will shift from the pitch to the links as the golf teams are set to square off in an exhibition tournament.

The first DC/UOIT Presidents Cup will take place today at the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club with the first tee off time scheduled for 2 p.m.

Former teammates Tyler Martin and Will Mitchell, who combined to win eight CCAA medals for DC, have now become rivals as they are on opposite coaching staffs. Martin is the head coach of the nationally ranked Lords while Mitchell is an assistant coach with the Ridgebacks.

The event will be a good tune up for both teams as they get ready for their respective provincial championships. The OCAA championship is schedule to run from September 29 to October 1 at the Wildfire Golf Club in Lakefield, Ont. UOIT will be hosting the OUA championship at the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club from October 20-21.
