100 Best Physician Golfers

In med school one day I took a break from studying and googled “Who are the top 100 physician golfers in the US?” Surprisingly an article had been published in Golf Digest in 2007 which listed the top 100 MD/DO golfers. At the time, in 2008, I would have ranked 98th on the list. I have been as high as 19th on the list with a USGA handicap of 1.2. Currently I would be 42nd on the list with a handicap of 2.8. I highly doubt this list is completely accurate. Having said that I was the best golfer in my med school class, the best in residency, and am currently the best physician golfer at the two hospitals I work at. Am I really in the top 100? Seems unlikely, but going off the data available I’m going to stick with my ranking of 42 for now.

    You know the difference between a doctor and a dentist? Doctors don't call themselves dentists.

    I'd say you are top 100 if you play at meadow.
