The FX series Taboo has a scene in which St. Stuart Strange, played by Jonathan Pryce, is playing a solo round of golf. The “course” is really primitive — a cow pasture, really. In a nice touch, the uniformed cadddie holds the clubs in his hands.
I’m catching up on Taboo by streaming the episodes from FX. It is a dark story about the mysterious events surrounding the return of James Kexziah Delaney to London in 1814, following a ten year absence in Africa. His father has left him a piece of land near modern Vancouver called Nootka Sound, which is coveted by both Britain and the fledgling United States.
