The Oakland A's are currently in the middle of a homestand that will find them hosting both varieties of Sox, the Red and the White.

With a day game this past Wednesday and an off-day Thursday, players found themselves with some free time. Some, such as Stephen Vogt and Max Muncy, opted to take in the Golden State Warriors' crucial Game 5 victory Wednesday night (and hang out with NBA MVP Stephen Curry).

Others, like reliever Tyler Clippard, made the trek down to Pebble Beach to hit the links. You see, Clippard is an avid golfer - and he did quite well on Thursday!

Here's Clippard in action on the course:

Judging by his form, and how, according to Golf Digest, he has a handicap index of 0.1 (not to mention his membership at the Avila Golf and Country Club in Tampa, Florida), Clippard will probably be hitting the links long after his Major League Baseball career ends.
