John Smoltz. Smoltz is a sure bet for baseball's Hall of Fame, but this former big league pitcher has a pretty mean golf swing, too. Tiger Woods once called him the best non-PGA golfer he'd ever seen. We're jealous.

Or, as he prefers to be called on the links, "G-Money."

Kenny G. It's hard to believe that a guy who looks and sounds like Kenny G can even lift a golf club. But Mr. G is actually a pretty talented golfer, with a handicap of +0.6. Which is really, really good. So next time you're at the dentist's office and Kenny is playing on the radio, just imagine him swinging on the golf course. Oh, so smooth.

Celine Dion. While her heart still goes on, you can find the Canadian songstress playing eighteen holes on the golf course she owns. She can really sink a few.

Paulina Gretzky. While she's probably best known as the daughter of the greatest hockey player of all time, this model and singer is a real athlete herself. She hits the course frequently with her fiancé, professional golfer and Coastal Carolina University alumnus, Dustin Johnson. And hey, Adam Sandler showed us golf and hockey can be good bedfellows.

Every U.S. President since FDR. If you don't have a decent golf game, you probably can't be president. Pretty much every president in recent memory has spent some solid vacation time on a golf course. Eisenhower was notorious for his love of the sport and played over 800 rounds over his eight years in office. Imagine how many golf balls he lost.
