DPRK Golf Open

Anyone played in this? Kind of a longshot I know, but I'm thinking about entering.

I'd say go for it! Of course, you will always lose to the "Dear Leader", but other than that how many people can say they have played in a golf tournament in NK?

You might get shot if you try to beat Kim Jung.

I don't think anyone could have beat Kim Jong-il, in his prime. As this was reported back in 1994.

"In 1994, Pyongyang media reported that Kim Jong-il shot an amazing 11 holes-in-one to achieve an unprecedented 38-under-par game on a regulation 18-hole golf course - on his first try at golf. Reports say each of his 17 bodyguards verified the record-breaking feat."

The tournament is open to amateur golfers of all nationalities (except South Korean).
Wonder what they are hiding on the golf courses....?
