Apparently the media in North Korea used to quite regularly report that he'd hit three or more holes in one in a game.

You couldn't make it up.

Except that they obviously did.

11 holes in one, in a round of 38. Which must be a world record, even if it's not one recognised by Guinness

But as he neither urinated nor defecated, he clearly wasn't taking the pis.s and it's clearly not a load of sh.it, so I have to believe it.

I did the 9 hole course at Skegness in 21, a few years ago, so I don't think it is that implausible. I had to deal with a windmill in the middle of one fairway (sp?) and only had one club, as well.
