IF there's one consistent love in Hollywood star Hugh Grant's life, it's golf.
And he wasted no time unpacking the clubs and playing at one of Sydney's premiere courses after his arrival at the weekend.
Having sampled the open fairways of the NSW Golf Club at La Perouse during a 2009 film tour for Did You Hear About The Morgans? and declaring the course to be "the best", Grant took his game to the posher environs of Rose Bay's Royal Sydney Golf Club.
A spokesman for Royal Sydney refused to reveal how Grant got a tee time.
"It wouldn't be appropriate to say," the spokesman said. "It's a private club you see."
But it seems when you are one of the world's most recognised film stars and you are only in town for a week to promote your latest movie, The Pirates, it's not so hard to get on course.
Grant, off a handicap of eight in recent years, played a round with Sony Pictures Releasing's Stephen Basil-Jones and a male golfing partner (with a handicap of 4) with whom Grant travels the world.
Basil-Jones wasn't available to take a call yesterday.
Royal Sydney's spokesman was also less than helpful.
"Seriously, we can't tell you how he played, what he scored or whether he was a guest of another member," the club spokesman continued.
Grant, 51, who last year became a first-time father, did tell one member he thought Royal Sydney was "absolutely beautiful" and has hopes of returning later in the week.
