Strict rules of golf?

Follow the Bond v Goldfinger golf game which took place at the Royal St Marks golf links at Sandwich by using my Google Map. A close game which Fleming placed on the real life Royal St Georges golf course in Kent.


I have attempted to recreate the shots that Bond (red) and Goldfinger (orange) played at each hole.  Unfortunately Fleming does not go into detail about the shots played at the 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th and 16th holes.

"The ball soared a hundred feet, paused elegantly, dropped eighty feet on to the thatched roof of the starter's hut and bounced down." Goldfinger, chapter 8
