This week, the PGA Tour makes a stop north of the border in Oakville, Ont., at the Glen Abbey Golf Club for the Canadian Open.
Naturally, ahead of the opening round Thursday, a few players traded in their clubs and balls and took their best shot with a stick and a puck instead. The results were mixed, but props to Canadian Mike Weir for doing his best to represent his home country's national game.
Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, and Smylie Kaufman were a few of the golfers firing pucks Wednesday.
A day earlier, legend Jack Nicklaus took a few shots of his own.

At 77 years old, the Golden Bear clearly still has some punch left in his paws.
