Kim was a damn good golfer...............................................The greatest round ever played !
Who's gonna be second? Eat your heart out Tiger Woods! Stand aside David Duval and Annika Sörenstam! Wake up, Guinness Book of World Records!

Your money, your victories, even your 59's, do not come close to matching the inexplicably unsung exploit of a modest little man from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK): the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-Il.

AnyoneforTee believes it is time to set the record straight and give full credit to a man who played a par 72 course in just 34 strokes.

And before you say "Impossible, he can only have played nine holes", beware!

Like my shades, David?No lesser authority than Pyongyang Golf Club's resident professional, Park Young Man, together with Kim's 17 armed bodyguards, can attest that Kim played the full eighteen, all holed out, off the back tees on a crisp autumn morning in October 1994. "He is an excellent golfer," said Mr. Park.

Standing on the tee of the 340-meter (370-yard) dogleg par four first hole at Pyongyang GC, Park noted that "Dear Leader Comrade General Kim Jong-Il, whom I respect from the bottom of my heart, scored two on this hole." But there was even better to come, as Kim's amazing round included a world record five holes in one!

But, we hear you ask, how does a man with a country to run, a 1.2 million man army to command and 22 million people to keep on the verge of starvation, find the time to work at his golf game? Answer - he doesn't!

Small, but perfectly formedThe Dear Leader, faithful to the national philosophy of 'Juche', or self-reliance, has never had a lesson. Indeed, his heroic 38 under par score was his first and only round of golf! When he learned that this was a full 25 strokes better than any other human had ever achieved, far from being tempted to take the game up seriously, he decided that there were greater challenges to his intellect and atheletic ability, and has not touched a club since.

So why have we not heard more about the greatest round of golf in the history of the game? AnyoneforTee understands that politics has once again reared its ugly head.

Western media are under pressure to isolate and vilify Kim's stalinist paradise, and are encouraged to play up its role in the 'Axis of Evil'. Governments, aware of the potential lobbying power of the world's 60 million golfers, many of whom are opinion leaders in the highest echelons of society, fear a tidal wave of adoration - similar to the recognition given to Tiger Woods - if news of Kim's golfing prowess is made public. So it has been suppressed and as a result gone largely unnoticed - until today!

Tim FinchemIn search of an 'official' comment, we went to US PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. Seemingly embarrassed by our questions, Finchem finally, and grudgingly, broke the code of silence, putting a very different spin on the story. "Yes, it's an amazing achievement, but he's just too good. We don't want him over here. We're lucky he's got a day job as a ruthless tyrant and a fully paid up international terrorist. Otherwise this man could be really evil if he was let loose on the guys on tour - he'd nuke 'em for sure!"

Perhaps recognising the economic potential of his phenomenel talent, Kim has also been wary of releasing too much information that could help Western powers. There are no photographs, for example, of Kim's golf swing. We do not know if he played left- or right-handed, nor which type of grip he used. Some experts have even speculated that to make such a quantum leap in golfing skills, he must have discovered an entirely new 'secret' to the game, far beyond anything that the great Ben Hogan may have found. We may never know.

Could someone get me the number of Tiger's hairdresser?Yet, even without revealing his secret to the world, the little man with bad hair from North Korea has done the golfing world a great service. For as the debate about the impact of technology on the modern game rages, as journeyman pros wonder if they can ever hope to compete with Tiger Woods, and as experts predict that Tiger himself may lose interest in the game because of the lack of serious competition, we can see that there is no need to worry. Until today's so-called 'Masters of the Game' can shave substantially more than a shot a hole off their best ever scores, the ultimate challenge of the lowest round will remain out there. Knocking Kim Jong-Il off the top of the Dear Leaderboard will not be easy. Posted Image :banana :banana :banana

...ok...It's alright Billy... the scary man from North Korea will threaten no more Western golf records..

Back to the beef. My wife is not up for it. The freezer is already packed and she doesn't want me bringing a whole cow home. If we clear out the freezer by next winter, maybe.

In the meantime, I found some better live-weight options in neighboring West Virginia - not as far to drive, so I can visit one weekend, pick out the lucky cow and have it slaughtered and aged, then pick up the following weekend in the geo on a cold winter day with the windows rolled down.

Wrap your cargo in some wool blankets, furniture packing pads or the like. Make it several layers thick all the way around and you will be good for at least several hours...

obtw. For those in Central NJ, there's a guy selling his chest freezer full of beef for $325. His family is moving and they cannot eat it fast enough. They got some nice steaks and roasts in there. Check on cragslist - search term beef

My wife does not want another freezer either.

I was going to suggest this, with the dry ice inside and under the beef.
Until,
It was noted,
Dry ice is frozen CO2. (and CO2 is poison)

But; - -
Isn't CO2 heavier than air?
Wouldn't the fumes just find there way out through the bottom?
!?Hmmm?!
research is needed.
Yes:
CO2 is 1.5X as heavy as atmosphere.
ref: wiki info

So, leave the windows open for the fresh air and pull the plugs in the floor, under the seats and in the trunk to let the CO2 out.

I once transported a deer carcass from SC up to VA with a block of dry ice in the cooler a few years ago.

Cooler was in the back seat of my Altima. I was OK for the 9 hour drive, (left at 10 AM) but did notice I got drowsey. Maybe it was from waking up at 4 AM to be out in the woods.

I did have the windows open and it was COLD!

Had to stop in a motel outside of Richmond for the night.

Let me know when you go on a Salmon run to Alaska. I want in on that one . . .
I'm more likely to go to the Salmon run up in Pulaski NY in October.

On my way to fort Drum, a friend told me that he used to bring home coolers full of Salmon.

I haven't been fishing in years. I wanted to bring my father up there before he passed away, but I was too late.

Option A Looks like my old 1981 Volvo 242DL!

I count at least 3 in the back. If he removed the backseat, he might have 4 and a calf laying in the trunk!

I used to raise my own meat rabbits. I did not enjoy the harvesting part but they are good white meat and the manure made for good flower garden fertilizer. I have considered taking it up again with meat prices as they are.
What kind? Been considering the Flemish Giants.

I like fried rabbit. Meat is good, but lacking in some vitamins. I think if you live on a diet entirely of rabbit, you are prone to "rabbit starvation"

The problem is bunnies are too cute and we stopped eating them. I hear up until the 60s rabbit meat was cheaper than chicken!

Now they (the USADA) want to allow horsemeat (eaten all over europe with no problems) to make it to the table, but the PETA folks don't want it to happen.

To stay on topic:

If it were horse, I wouldn't need the Geo. I would ride it home, THEN slaughter and butcher it!

:D

Maybe you could make money on this adventure. On your return trip maybe you could stop off at members houses and sell some beef. Just a thought.
Sounds like a great business model! :)

I didnt know he raised rabbits.
I didn't think he did either.

But I remember back three or 4 years ago, well-meaning rabbit breeder had bred a Flemish Giant rabbit to maybe 24-30 pounds and sent them to Korea as breeding stock to help North Korea's starving masses.

He got a nice card sent from Kim Jong-il - "Thank you for rabbit. Very Tasty"

I guess that is what Woodie was making reference too. I could write a short book about what I know about the Jong fellow.

I wonder what Jong would have said if he had sent him a jug of shine too?
