Corrected entry: Dropping a large gold bar onto a golf green, as Bond does, would have left a considerable dent in the ground, yet it didn't. A standard gold bar weighs about 25lb, so even on a well-tended green, this would have done visible damage.

Correction: Several problems with this submission. 1. The bar lands flat against the green, distributing its weight evenly. 2. We only see the bar hitting the ground; for all we know Bond may have just dropped it from below waist level. 3. A 200 pound person could jump on a well maintained golf course and not leave a 'considerable dent', their shoe size not being much larger than the side of the gold bar.
