In which we spend 16 pages (8% of the book) on a game of golf.
Good fun when its fun, which is about half the time because it's mind-bogglingly misogynistic and racist. (Truly: "Pussy Galore"? — and she doesn't even show up until the last 50 pages!)
Also, much more atmospheric than I expected. Lots of waxing philosophical about Bond's inner life, and lots of detailed visual description of people and places.
