“But, two in one weekend is something else!”Such was the case at the Riverside Golf Course this weekend as Vic Fontaine and Leo Noel aced the 175-yard eighth hole.

“Fontaine gathered his ace Friday afternoon playing with Leo Hjelm and Joe Lastowska. Noel sunk his ace Saturday morning. Making up the foursome with Noel were Art Devlin, Joe Chaplick and Gerry Fortney.
