SUTTON COLDFIELD, England — Almost half a century has slipped by since the beginning of a working relationship that continues today. It was in 1978 at a Hennessy Cognac Cup match between a Great Britain & Ireland team and one from the Continent of Europe that a 21-year-old Nick Faldo first played competitively at The Belfry.
