Marilyn Monroe as a golfer: scouting report

Marilyn Monroe was one of the most famous film stars in the world, and she handled that spotlight while always pushing to grow as an artist. That poise is the top of her golf card. Her nerve is the best thing she has, and she would be at her best on the final holes with the cameras close and the crowd pressing in. Very few people ever performed under more attention.

Her course IQ is the next strength, and it reflects a side of her that people often overlooked. In the mid 1950s she cofounded her own production company so she could choose better roles, a rare move for an actress at the time, and she studied at the Actors Studio in New York to sharpen her craft. That is a player who thinks about her game. Her short game is strong, and her comic timing, from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to her Golden Globe winning turn in Some Like It Hot, would show in a soft, well judged chip. Her putting is solid and her iron play is steady, which gives her plenty of chances to score.

Driving is the soft spot, and it is the lowest mark on her card. The Long Course Championship, where carry distance matters most, is her worst major. The Links Open is her best, where imagination and calm under pressure count for more than length. Draft her in the middle rounds as a composed scorer, and pair her with a long hitter who can handle the big venues.
