The full list of Hollywood's Top 100 can be viewed now at www.golfdigest.com/hollywood.
Dennis Quaid, a bona fide golf nut sporting a 1.1 USGA Handicap Index, finished first among Hollywood's Top 100. A member of Bel-Air Country Club in Beverly Hills, Quaid usually secures a home on a private golf course whenever he's on the road and relies on his charm to gain access. "They're usually pretty good about it," he told Golf Digest. "There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times."
Rounding out the Top 10 are: No. 2 Thomas Gibson, formely of ABC's "Dharma and Greg"; T3 comedian Tom Dreesen; T3 actor Matt Craven; T3 Chris O'Donnell; No. 6 Samuel L. Jackson; No. 7 Randy Quaid; No. 8 Craig T. Nelson; T9 Mark Wahlberg; T9 Hugh Grant.
It's not only Hollywood's leading men slinking to the links. Tea Leoni, a 12-handicap, is the highest-ranked woman on the list, tied for 34th with avid golfer Sylvester Stallone. Cheryl Ladd, who recently wrote a book about golf, is tied for 43rd in the ranking with Michael Chiklis, the 2002 Emmy Award- winning star of "The Shield."
