(KMOX) - Most golfers will go a lifetime without hitting a hole-in-one, but St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Mike Maddux is apparently not your average golfer. He informed media members on Thursday that he sunk his eighth ace this winter.
Come on. EIGHT?!?!

Current PGA Tour stud Bryson Dechambeau only has one hole-in-one in his entire life – and it just happened in 2019.
Maddux's golf exploits became somewhat of baseball lore when it was revealed before Game 4 of the 2019 National League Championship Series that he hit two holes-in-one in the same round. The feat is a 67,000,000-to-one chance.
Unfortunately, he had all the luck that day for the Cardinals, who went on to lose Game 4 and be bounced from the playoffs by the eventual World Series Champion Washington Nationals.
Maddux didn't reveal much about the latest ace, but he did bring it just as he was wrapping up his video conference.

"You don't want to talk about my hole-in-one this winter," Maddux asked. "We got eight, but who's counting? But I've only have two, one time so we gotta work on that."
And if the luck/skill of his holes-in-one were exchangeable for a 2021 World Series Championship, the coach known as "Mad Dog" says he'd make that trade any day.
