And you thought you were good at golf...

The late North Koren leader was sooo good at the game of golf that he, well, damn just read the article...

Pretty hilarious. Seriously 11 hole in ones on the first try. I guess all the swings except for the first one didn't count. I mean did he really think anyone would believe he had 11 hole in ones?

Here are some odds of making just one hole-in-one. Oh an making two hole-in-ones would be 1 in 9,222,500. Can you imagine what the odds would be for 11!


In 1999, Golf Digest reported, "One insurance company puts a PGA Tour pro's chances at 1 in 3,756 and an amateur's at 1 in 12,750."

That same issue reported that the "odds of an amateur making two holes-in-one in a round are 9,222,500 to 1."

Ireland's National Hole in One Club puts the odds a little longer for one ace: "The estimated odds of acing a hole with any given swing are one in 33,000."

And an article in the magazine Navy Newsstand, citing Sports Illustrated as its source, put the odds at 45,000 to 1 for "scoring a hole-in-one on a typical par-3 golf hole

You do not put quotes around the word facts, Stalinist N. Korea puts quotes around you.
