OUR GOLFERS:

Thomas Gibson

Greg, from the TV show "Dharma and Greg," plays to a 5-handicap at Bel-Air C.C. He's playing in the AT&T for the first time this year.

Dweezil Zappa

Son of legendary guitarist Frank Zappa, Dweezil got hooked on golf 12 years ago at a charity event and now plays to a 3-handicap.

Kevin Nealon

Joe Mantegna

Movie actor and a star on CBS' "Joan of Arcadia," Mantegna plays to a 20-something handicap. Of course, he rarely keeps score.

Julie's twin has similar ambitions and is an identical 20-handicap. They frequently play at top L.A. courses.
