The high-security Lyford Cay estate on New Providence, the most populous island in the Bahamas, is one of the world's richest enclaves. It was there, in a bungalow backing on to an exclusive private golf club, that Sean Connery passed away in his sleep on Saturday at the age of 90.
“There’s no finer place to be on a Monday morning than the first tee at Capilano,” the club cites Connery as having once said. He was also fond of playing at Furry Creek, Point Grey and Shaughnessy, others have claimed. Credit, in a roundabout way, a movie legend from another era.

LONDON — Sean Connery, the charismatic Scottish actor who rose to international superstardom as the suave and fearless secret agent James Bond and then abandoned the role to carve out an Oscar-winning career in other rugged roles, has died. He was 90.
In 2005 he was chosen for a lifetime achievement award by the American Film Institute. Thomas Sean Connery was born Aug. 25, 1930 , in Edinburgh, Scotland, the first of two sons of a long-distance truck driver and a domestic worker.
When he walked away at age 41, Hollywood insiders predicted Connery would soon be washed up. Who would hire a balding, middle-aged actor with a funny accent?
When he decided to become an actor, he was told that Thomas Sean Connery wouldn’t fit on a theater marquee so he dropped his first name.
Actor: Sir Sean Connery. The James Bond movie star has lived in the Bahamas for around 30 years. The 1960s Thunderball movie was filmed in the islands, along with scenes in the Spy Who Loved Me, Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale. Sir Sean was asked by the Herald news outlet where home is.

So I—and Golf Digest—never did get an interview with Sean Connery. It remains the biggest disappointment of my journalistic career. RIP big man.
All to no avail, although Connery did have the courtesy to call me back with the bad news. Which is not to say I thought it was him. Not at first. As just about every Scot has had a go at reproducing Sean’s distinctive brogue, I initially thought it was a friend whose propensity for imitation is especially pronounced.

When Hunt was young, he explained, he had caddied for Bing Crosby. Crosby, who was born in Tacoma and grew up in Spokane, Wash., was a regular visitor to Vancouver and would often play golf when he came to town.
At a tournament dinner in the early 1980s, Kathryn Crosby introduced him to Connery, who was also playing in the event. Connery, she explained, had a problem and thought perhaps Hunt could help him.
