Golf legend Nicklaus shoots pucks at RBC Canadian Open

It was like the reverse of "Happy Gilmore."

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear, tried his hand at hockey before the 2017 RBC Canadian Open on Tuesday.
Nicklaus donned a hockey jersey and shot a couple of pucks as a promo for the tournament, held in Oakville, Ontario.

The Goden Bear told onlookers it was the first time he had ever held a hockey stick, but he gave it a valiant effort shooting at a nearby net.

There is an overwhelming hockey theme called
"The Rink" at Glen Abbey Golf Course
, the site of the Canadian Open. The par-3 seventh hole is surrounded by hockey boards, the tee markers are goalie masks and there is a full-size Zamboni machine off to the side.
Graham DeLaet, a PGA Tour pro and native of Saskatchewan, gleefully tweeted a photo of the machine from the Open.

Former NHL goalie Marty Turco must leave his putts short often, because he joked that he is

when he saw DeLaet's tweet of the Zamboni on the course.
