Kim Jong-il: Best Golfer in the World
Best EVER!
This is from a couple years ago- but it's too good not to post. North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il is the best golfer in the world, hands down. On his first ever trip to the golf course, he shot 38-under par, including 5 hole-in-ones! This is reported by the government controlled media. He routinely shoots 3 or 4 hole-in-ones every time out.

Their is only one course in North Korea and it plays to about 7,700 yards, making Jong-il's feat even more impressive. 38-under par on a course longer than almost any in the US = NOT BAD!

Just for fun- it is also important to note that the N. Korean media also reports that Jong-il bowled a perfect game-300, on his first time out bowling!

At about 5'3" and wearing that crazy jump suit of his, this is all very impressive.

I wonder if something like this is just completely made up or if he just cheats real bad... Like does he score a 120 and then just tell the media something else, or does he have goons hiding in the woods that roll balls out onto greens (and in the hole)?

I checked, he hasn't registered any of his scores with the USGA...

My guess is that he has never even swung a club. I was actually discussing this with my wife last night.

It is so sad to think we live like we do- and some people are still so oppressed in this world that they are FORCED to believe this. With no courses and no real golf exposure, they have to take the media reports as true.

Probably like the blowhard that told me "yeah I got a hole in one,one time ,it was a par 3, last hole of the day, with the green right below the club dining room window, so everyone eating dinner got to see it. I've never seen a course end with a par 3, much less with clubhouse glass behind it.

I don't think the people really believe it all. I think they are just forced to act like they do in public. Questioning anything could lead to death.

One reason that Kim Jong Il has never played on any course other than his home one, is that he is afraid to fly. He has only gone to international meetings in China and Russia and travelled by train in both cases...

I'm not sure I agree. I think they are possibly so oppressed they really do believe him. Even if they hate him- and his rule and what it means to their lives.

Think about it, most of these people have probably never seen any real golf- if they even know what it is at all. If their leader says that he can do something- a something which they have NO intelligent knowledge of, why would they not believe?

Im just thinking that they all have bodies and they have to understand athleticism, strenth, etc. Any person with abilty to think logically should be able to look at the dudes picture and say, "hey this guy isn't an athlete."
