Connery and Golf

Even though Connery grew up in Scotland (a country famous for the many old golf courses), Sean Connery's love for the golf didn't start until he played the game for the movie Goldfinger (1964).

"I never had a hankering to play golf, despite growing up in Scotland just down the road from Bruntsfield Links, which is one of the oldest golf courses in the world. It wasn’t until I was taught enough golf to look as though I could outwit the accomplished golfer Gert Fröbe in Goldfinger that I got the bug. I began to take lessons on a course near Pinewood film studios and was immediately hooked on the game. Soon it would nearly take over my life." says Connery in his autobiography Being a Scot.

The golf opportunities in the sunny South of Spain was one of the reasons he lived in Marbella for many years. Connery played several celebrity games, for example Bing Crosby’s showbusiness amateur teams against professional golfers in America and the Michael Jordan celebrity tournament in 2005 on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

More Slazenger in Goldfinger

Goldfinger himself plays with a Slazenger 279 ball, and the brand is mentioned a few times when Goldfinger loses and finds his ball, and later when Bond calls Goldfinger on using a different number Slazenger ball.

Several Slazenger display signs can be spotted in the Stoke Poges golf shop where Bond meets Goldfinger, including an ad for Jack Nicklaus World Series clubs.
