HistoryA BIT OF HISTORY: VPI Pix "...CNO's trip to Brisbane, Australia. Taken on 15 March 1997 at the Gainesborough Greens Country Club. Pictured are myself, Jerry Lankton, Brian Lundblad, and our host, Ian Rees. I teamed with Rees for 18 holes against the "yanks." It ended up a tie, 1-to-1, and we presented the trophy. We left the trophy in the Country Club in hopes of having a rematch in the future..."
