Pyongyang media say North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il enjoys golf, having shot multiple holes-in-one during his first try at the game. He reportedly aced five holes and finished 38 under par on the golf course. The "Great Leader" routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported.

how very sad and pathetic. Does anyone else think Kim Jong-Il was teased a lot in elementary school?

I thought the same, but:

North Korea has only one 18-hole golf course in Pyongyang. The North's media have said the 7,000-meter (7,700-yard) course is "in full line with international standards." The course, built in the mid-1980s by North Korean businessmen based in Japan, "bustled with Pyongyang citizens, overseas Koreans and foreigners," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said. Surrounded by a forest and a scenic lake, golfers can enjoy collecting plants and boating during breaks, it said.

Clearly, Tiger is on the way out. GO KIM!

I'd bet my car, he hasn't hit a hole in one in his life.

During the Cultural Revolution, the Peoples Daily reported that an elderly, portly Mao had broken most major speed and distance swimming records, and had stopped to save the lives of troubled children along the way.

And in other news, Kim breaks a 4-minute mile this morning scored 3 goals for the DPRK national team, and won N Korea's Strongman Competition after pulling a jet-liner with his teeth in record time!

Have you ever played golf in Korea? Most of the holes are only 200-300 yards and par is around 9 shots, this is because most of them use bamboo shoots for clubs. Imagine what you could do on a course like that with a real set!
