GOLF TRIVIA
Golf Digest's Ranking of Athlete-Golfers
.
After Golf Digest's rankings of the top-100 golfers in music (December 2006) and the top 100 in Hollywood (December 2005), we present the best and, in some cases, most notable golfers from the world of sports.
.
Handicaps were determined in a number of ways, but our first reference was the U.S. Golf Association's Golf Handicap and Information Network.
.
Additionally, we relied upon information from state associations, the athletes, pros at their clubs and friends who have played with them. Handicaps without decimal points are unofficial estimates.
