The Dear Leader Shaves Strokes

At the same time leading the way on the North Korean propaganda beat and offering an object lesson in how information propagates on the web, my best friend in the whole world Conrad over at Gweilo Diaries culls information from Country Store, which got it from the San Francisco Chronicle, which cited a WorldTribune.com article that I can't for the life of me find, providing critical information about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il's golf game:

According to North Korea's government-controlled media, the "Dear Leader'' shot five holes-in-one in his very first round and finished 38-under par.  The same media say Kim routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round.

News you can use.

UPDATE: Assume an average par 72 course with four par threes and four par fives.  Assume he gets holes-in-one on all the par threes  He's eight under with 14 holes to play.  He needs to drop 30 more strokes.  That's eagle on all the rest of the holes, except for two of the par fives where he gets double eagle.

Here's what I think:

1. He wasn't playing the back tees.
2. He wasn't using Nike clubs.
3. It must have been very frustrating for him to wait to hit his drive until the foresome ahead was off the green.
