In a PM from Miss Moneypenny's desk in London, Ian Fleming Publications announce a new strategic partnership with Penfold for a range of exciting products for golfers and James Bond aficionados. Classification: Gold level (For Your Eyes Only)
The message reads as follows...
“To our agents in the field,
Goldfinger took out his driver and unpeeled a new ball. He said, “Dunlop 65. Number One. Always use the same ball. What's yours?” “Penfold. Hearts.”
Today marks a full 65 years since the first publication of
Ian Fleming’s novel
Goldfinger (1959). A tale that revolves around of some of the finer things in life beginning with ‘G’ (gold, golf and Galore, Pussy), Fleming’s seventh Bond story features perhaps the most famous game of golf in literature.
In celebration of its anniversary, the team at
Ian Fleming Publications have partnered with
Penfold, the iconic British golfing brand, to create two products that celebrate Fleming’s love of the sport.

Featuring both a golf journal and a writer’s pouch, both are designed with functionality and style in mind, whether you’re using them out on the green before cocktail hour or at your writing desk in Jamaica.

As you know, James Bond has a handicap of 9. Perhaps these tasteful new products from
Penfold will help you do even better.
Agents should also be aware that new audio recordings of all of Fleming’s original works are in progress, and are being published this year in the US by HarperCollins. A UK release will follow in early 2025.
The first title from this project to be released was
You Only Live Twice (1964), read by
Eleanor Matsuura (
The Walking Dead,
Spooks), and two more titles will be coming out very soon.
Learn more about the new recordings
here.
Perhaps enjoy listening to an audiobook in your Bentley or DB Mark III on your way to the links now that spring has finally sprung – much like an ejector seat.
Sincerely,
Miss Moneypenny”
