"Pyongyang Golf complex is North Korea's only golf course. It is located on the banks of Taicheng Lake, 27km from Pyongyang City. The 18 hole par 72 course covers 120 hectares with 45 hectares of green and is 7km long. The course can service up to 100 competitors at a time and includes a clubhouse covering 2700 square metres, including club shop, restaurant (the best in the country!), conference rooms, games room and changing facilities. It is claimed that when Kim Jong Il opened the course in 1987, he shot a world record 38 under par on his first ever round of golf (including 11 hole in ones!)

Enter now for your chance to play on the world's most exclusive golf course!"

Absolute legends. That's pure gold from start to finish.

Heard part of an interview with one of them on the Hamish and Andy show this arvo. They didn't even have their own clubs. They were using hire sets from the course where the Open was being played. One of them doesn't even own a set of golf clubs.

They should have played it in their budgie smugglers.

According to Golflink, it is a semi-hoax.

The "Open" exists, but it is an amateur event, literally open to anybody who books through a particular tour company.

So the stuff about them being professionals representing Australia is a very wide version of the truth.

Wankers.
and they are not even the first to do this, plenty of choppers have managed to play in The Open, over the years. Though obviously not lately.
From memory they were kicked out after one round, and deleted from the records.

and not even in the same class as Pierce and McIntyre.
