September 30, 2014

The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Pro-Am is the European Tour's equivalent to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour, and features lots of big-name celebrities. One of those in the field this year is Jamie Doran, and actor who plays BDSM-enthusiast Christian Grey in the upcoming film "Fifty Shades of Grey."

"I can't wait to play in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this week. I'll be one of two people playing from Holywood, County Down. The other being Rory McIlroy," Doran said in the press release. "I'd say your money's safer with Rory."

The film is set the debut on February 13, 2015. Here's the trailer for it:

Interestingly, this is now the second connection "Fifty Shades of Grey" has to golf. In the film, Grey's love-interest is played by Dakota Johnson, the daughter of Don Johnson, who played David Simms in the 1996 golf movie "Tin Cup".
