Historical Notes
The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England, hosts the biennial Ryder Cup tournament, which was scheduled for late September 2001. The competition between European and U.S. golfers was postponed for a year in response to the 9/11 attacks. This souvenir set was sent to tickets holders after the postponement.
