Hall of Fame third baseman George Brett apparently attacks the 11th hole at the Mission Hills Country Club golf course like it’s a must-win Royals playoff game.

Brett had a hole-in-one earlier this week on the hole, and it wasn’t the first time.

“He’s made a few (holes-in-one),” said Golf Services Manager Barry Boggess, “but on that particular hole, he’s made three in the last couple of years.”

Brett, the Royals vice president of baseball operations, used a 9-iron on the 150-yard hole.
