James bond golf day at stoke park
Published: Last updated:
Stoke Park, the luxury 5 star Hotel, Spa and Country Club in Buckinghamshire will play host to the official James Bond Golf Day on Friday June 28th.
As the setting for arguably the most iconic golf battle in cinematic history between Sean Connery’s James Bond, and Gert Fröbe’s Goldfinger, and not forgetting Oddjob’s flying hat, Stoke Park has partnered with EON Productions to host the official James Bond Golf Day, with profits from the day donated to the charity Spinal Research.
Like Bond and Goldfinger, golfers will have the opportunity to compete on Stoke Park’s legendary 1908 Championship golf course, indulge on award -winning Head Chef Chris Wheeler’s exquisite cuisine, and dance into the night with live music.
Says Stuart Collier, Director of Golf at Stoke Park: ‘Next year will be 50 years since Goldfinger was released in the cinemas, and at Stoke Park, we are very proud of our Bond heritage.
“We have had two Bond films shot here and in 1997 scenes from Tomorrow Never Dies were also filmed in our Ballroom. The idea behind the golf day was to celebrate that heritage, and to create something truly unique and authentic.”
“Over the last few years we have taken significant steps forward and now stand on the brink of clinical trials involving paralysed volunteers. We’re only able to progress this vital work thanks to the fundraising efforts of our supporters and are immensely grateful to Stoke Park for hosting the James Bond Golf Day.’ Jonathan Miall, Chief Executive, Spinal Research.
Whilst the 25 teams compete on the golf course, non-competitors will be able to enjoy Stoke Park’s award winning spa, gym, tennis clinics, golf clinics, drive an Ride Aston Martin or even award-winning afternoon tea, before changing into Black Tie attire for the evening’s entertainment.
The event has been supported by Aston Martin, Virgin Atlantic and Champagne Bollinger.
