#3. Jeff O’Neill

If you listen to TSN’s Overdrive, you know that the O-Dog is a great golfer.

During many broadcasts, O’Neill has been named the best golfer at TSN and many former NHLers have admitted that he’s one of the better former hockey players at golf.

As mentioned earlier, O-Dog was the reason why Team Duthie had a chance at winning the match against Gerry Dee and Kyle Dubas because he was single-handily carrying the team.

According to his Golf Canada handicap, O’Neill is currently a 0.9 handicap, which essentially means that on any given day he should shoot around even par on the day.

It’s impressive how good of an athlete that O-Dog actually is, because not only can he shoot under par on the golf course, but he scored 40 goals in a season in the NHL. If I have a chance to pick any former NHLer to tee it up with, he’s on a short list of people to choose from.
