The 1988-89 & 1989-90 Durham College men’s golf teams, led by head coach Gerry Pettit, won back to back OCAA Championship titles. The Lords would run away with the gold medal in the team competition and individual competition amassing a 23-shot victory as a team over second place Seneca. Meanwhile Ryan Hughes would capture his second OCAA individual gold medal shooting a two-day total of 147 (74-73). A very talented team posted 3 players in the top 10 and an outstanding team total of 643. Joining Hughes was Paul Doucet 4^th 160 (84-76), Rich Snowden 7^th 161 (84-77) and Wade Brackenbury 175 (86-89).  The following year Coach Pettit saw his team earn top honours again. Bolstered by returnees Ryan Hughes 1^st 160 (82-78) and Rich Snowden 5^th 161 (82-79) and joined by new comers Dave Davies 12^th 169 (88-81) and Greg Kapular 182 (95-87) the Lords (672) would take home the team top prize thanks to dominating 28 shot lead over the next best college – Georgian (700).

This two-year run for the DC Golf team in the province was absolutely dominant. In addition, Hughes, won the individual title in a 2-hole play-off to cap his 3^rd consecutive gold. The 1988-89 & 1989-90 Durham College men’s golf teams were back to back OCAA Champions and are now honoured in the Durham Sports Hall of Fame.
