No, it's not Arnie, Jack or Tiger that has passed on to that Pebble Beach in the sky. It's Kim Jong Il, the dear leader of North Korea. It took his death for the news of his round in 1994 to surface. He shot a 38 under par 34 with 11 holes in one. What makes it more incredible was that it was his first and last game.
While the golf world mourns his passing, no one will miss him more than Hennessey who sold him an average of $700,000 of cognac every year. That, and some other interesting facts about this amazing man (he never defecated!!??) are reported by the Australian Herald Sun.
And I've been playing golf for 40 years, with narry a single hole in one. Maybe I should move to North Korea -- are the holes bigger there?
