Jack Wagner Celebrity Golfer

Number 2
Jack Wagner
Handicap: +0.3
Wagner started playing as a 10-year-old and planned on becoming a pro. He attended the University of Missouri for one year and won the state’s golf championship. His application for a golf scholarship at the University of Arizona was unsuccessful; however, that was a small setback which put him on the path to his current career as an actor. Jack Wagner auditioned for the school’s drama program and won a full scholarship. From then on, he turned his attention to acting.

Even so, he never lost his passion for golf. He’s a member of the prestigious Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, where he is often seen working on his game at the driving range.
No other actor puts his golf game on display like “The Bold and Beautiful’s” Jack Wagner.

The embarrassing missed short putts and wayward drives are caught by NBC cameras and relayed to millions of people around the country. Yet, celebrity golf fans often see Wagner break par.

In a nutshell, Wagner doesn’t stop entertaining when he leaves a production set for the golf course. Unless they have a self-deprecating sense of humor other Hollywood types provide little theater with their golf games.

No other Hollywood star has Wagner’s golf game and his results. He finished runner-up in the 2003 American Century Championship and among his celebrity wins is the 2002 Mario Lemieux Invitational title. The former “Melrose Place” star has also captured six Bel Air Country Club titles in Los Angeles.

When is the last time you saw Sylvester Stallone, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner or Adam Sandler play tournament golf? They all play, but apparently not well enough.

“To play and count everything, I don’t know if they want to do that,” said Wagner, confiding that Dennis Quaid is one of the few that will. “The Craig T. Nelsons, the Thomas Gibsons, guys who can actually play a little bit, I don’t think they want to put their game on the line because you’ve got to count all the strokes.”
