The world of celebrity golf will take center stage this month at the American Century Championship, and when it does it will be rather interesting to see how different athletes and actores fare.

Seeing professional athletes specifically is always fun given that they play sports for a living. Just because you are a great NFL or NBA player though does not mean that you will excel in golf. This is what we all love about golf, that it is such a great equalizer in that way.

If you’ve ever been curious about someone’s handicap, you can simply check it via the USGA’s GHIN (Golf Handicap Information Network) App, or online. All you need is their last name and the state where they reside. So maybe you have seen one or two of these before yourself.

Some of the names in question will be out on the links at the ACC and proving how accurate these handicaps are.

Which do you think will live up to it the most positively?
