Mark "Ping" Calcavecchia

The golfer who strokes at pool, too

By Matthew Sherman, About.com

One of the top golfers in the world, Mark was at one time his buddy Ken Green's caddie on the professional tour. He had to carry golf bags to make ends meet, while he strove for one of the coveted spots on the tour himself.

Calcavecchia's fine hand-eye coordination assists him when he heads for a pool table to relax at one of the many PGA stops. He can beat you on the "green felt" and on the greens!

Other pool playing golfers include Corey "Stroke" Pavin.
