...and it is:

Kim Jong Il, the North Korean Dicator!



In his first round of golf ever played he managed 11 (!) hole-in-ones, according to The Ministery of Information of his nation (http://www.spiegel.de/sport/sonst/0,1518,634900,00.html)

According to other sources this happened in 1995 outside the Capital Pyongjang...

To truly valuate this extraordinary performance you have to know that the chances to score just two holes-in-one during an 18-holes golf round are 1:67.000.000...

Personally I suspect he had some help there, and that this enormous deed could only have been completed with the help of his trusted caddy, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (aka Baghdad Bob) who had been on administrative leave way too long...

They neglect to tell the full story about his first round of golf, it was on a Putt-Putt course.

Pyongyang media say Kim 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 "Dear Leader" routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported.

Tiger Woods couldn't hold a candle to North Korea's Kim Jong-Il, if nation's government-controlled media reports are to be believed.
