Yeah, why would the government-controlled media report the object of their cult of personality as a bad golfer? Remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer was the leader of the Stonecutters, and they were cheating to make him win at bowling, pool and cards, so he would appear to be the best at everything? Or when Smithers was planting balls to make Mr. Burns win at golf when the Simpsons joined that country club? Same thing is probably going on here.
