Sales of Penfold Hearts soared after Sean Connery played a Penfold Heart in the Bond movie Goldfinger and James Bond's golf ball became a major selling 007 gadget. Penfold Golf ran into trouble in the 90s and it wasn't until the company was reformed that the Penfold Heart reappeared on the golfing scene in August 2008.

Selling for £50 a set, Bond fans can once again buy 007's golfing weapon of choice via www.penfoldgolf.com - several James Bond websites have been running competitions to win the sets and Penfold Golf offers the chance to win a set on its own website.
