Morgan Freeman as a golfer: scouting report

Morgan Freeman would be the golfer everyone wants in their playing group, the calm veteran who seems to know how every putt will break before he even crouches behind it. Course IQ is the top mark on his card. His voice has narrated everything from The Shawshank Redemption to March of the Penguins, and a storyteller who can see where a story is heading from the first line is a natural at plotting his way around a golf course.

His nerve is right behind his course IQ. He served in the Air Force as a young man and only broke through as a film star in middle age, with roles in Driving Miss Daisy and Glory, so he knows how to stay patient and wait for his moment. That temperament is gold on a back nine. Putting is the best of his shotmaking skills, which suits a man known for his measured delivery, and his short game is close behind it. He finally won his Oscar for Million Dollar Baby, a film about a boxing gym, and he played Nelson Mandela in Invictus, a story built around a rugby World Cup, so sport is familiar ground.

Driving is the soft spot on his card. He is not going to overpower long courses, which makes The Long Course Championship his toughest fit. He belongs at The Links Open, where course management, a steady putter and patience in the wind carry more weight than length. He is also a licensed pilot, so judging wind and reading conditions comes naturally to him. Draft him in the middle rounds as a smart, steady scorer, and pair him with a long hitter who can handle the power layouts he would rather avoid.
