Bond with his caddie Hawker in the film version of Goldfinger (1964)
To mark the 65th anniversary of the publication of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger novel, Ian Fleming Publications today announced a partnership with Penfold.
Bond, in his golf match with Auric Goldfinger, played a Penfold golf ball. To play up that angle, IFP is coming out with products from Penfold. One is a golf journal, the other is a writer's pouch.
Here is an excerpt from the announcement.
The Ian Fleming Golf Journal is handbound and made in Stamford, England. Keep track of your golf rounds and stats, and write your own story on the lined pages, inspired by Ian Fleming's own adventures.

The Ian Fleming Writers Pouch takes inspiration from his writing adventures, and the luxury fabrics he favoured. A multi-use pouch for your writing or golf accessories.
Fleming was an avid golfer. His Goldfinger novel describes all 18 holes of the match, making it his longest 007 novel. The film version in 1964 greatly condensed the sequence.
The Bond Experience channel on YouTube came out with this video about the new products.
