Johnny Cash as a golfer: scouting report

Johnny Cash would play golf with the steady, rolling rhythm of his music, never hurried and never rattled. Nerve and course IQ share the top of his card. He recorded live albums inside Folsom Prison in 1968 and San Quentin the next year, performing for the toughest audiences anyone could imagine and winning them over. A golfer who can do that is not going to be bothered by a quiet gallery or a long wait on the tee.

His short game and putting are level with each other and are the best of his shotmaking skills, which fits an artist who built his sound on simplicity and feel. The steady train beat behind his early hits at Sun Records in Memphis is the kind of rhythm a smooth putting stroke needs. Before music, he served in the Air Force as a radio operator in Germany, listening to coded Morse transmissions for hours, a job that took deep focus and patience. That focus shows in his course IQ. His irons are serviceable, enough to set up chances.

Driving is the weak spot on his card. He keeps the ball in play but lacks length, so The Long Course Championship, which rewards distance on nearly every hole, is his toughest test. His best fit is The Links Open, where steady ball striking, a reliable short game and calm in the wind count most. Late in his career he made the American Recordings albums with Rick Rubin and found a whole new audience, proof that he always knew how to adapt. He is in both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Draft him as a steady middle round piece and pair him with a long hitter.
