30 Apr 06 - Stoke Park has upgraded to the full Movies-on-Demand product
Stoke Park Club with its 27 hole golf course, Stoke Poges, the amazing golf pavilion, luxury
bedrooms and award winning spa, SPA SPC, is one of the most special places in the world,
in one of the most convenient locations in Britain.
It also played host to one of the most memorable games of golf in movie history - the golf
match for the film version Goldfinger (1964) was shot at Stoke Park Club, and remains
cinema's most famous golfing scene. Sean Connery's agent
007 is pitted against Auric Goldfinger, in the monumental form of
the late Gert Frobe - complete with Plus Fours! After catching
Goldfinger cheating, Bond switches balls on his opponent during
the match. Realising that Bond is attempting to interfere in his
affairs, Goldfinger motions to Oddjob, his deadly Korean
manservant and caddie, to sever the head of a nearby statue with his steel-rimmed
bowler. Bond is suitably impressed, but wonders what the club secretary will have to say.
Goldfinger explains smugly, "Oh nothing Mister Bond - I own the club!"
