If Whitney Houston played golf: rated 79, best at nerve

Whitney Houston would be a golfer rated 79 in Legends Draft Golf, the parody game where famous people play golf. Best attribute: nerve (92). The course that suits Whitney Houston best is The Links Open, which leans on short game and course IQ. A big stage golfer who rises in front of a crowd. Her nerve leads her card, her course IQ is close behind, and driving is the soft spot.

Whitney Houston as a golfer: scouting report

Whitney Houston would be the golfer who plays her best golf on the eighteenth hole with the grandstands full. Nerve is the top mark on her card. Her performance of the national anthem before Super Bowl XXV in 1991 is still remembered as one of the greatest ever, and a golfer who can deliver like that in front of a stadium and a national television audience will not shrink over a putt to win.

Her course IQ is right behind her nerve, which fits an artist who knew how to pace a song and save the biggest moment for exactly the right place. Her putting is the best of her shotmaking skills, and her irons are close behind, so she can hit greens and finish off birdie chances. She set a record with seven consecutive number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1980s, and that kind of sustained consistency is what separates a contender from a champion over four rounds. She first sang in a church choir in Newark as a girl, so she learned early how to hold a note and hold her nerve.

Driving is the weak spot on her card. Her game is not designed to overpower long courses, which makes The Long Course Championship her toughest fit. The Links Open suits her much better, because precise irons, a solid short game and steady nerves in the wind beat length there. Her version of I Will Always Love You from The Bodyguard showed she could take a quiet song and build it into something enormous, and she plays golf the same way: patient early and strong at the finish. Draft her in the middle rounds and pair her with a long hitter for the power weeks.
