I had a vivid dream last night. 

I went to a muni I hadn't played before to play 18 as a single. I got there and the course was empty. So I paid in the Pro shop and went to the first tee. But I forgot a score card so I left my bag went back to the Pro Shop to get it. By the time I got back to the tee, my bag was gone! There were a couple of foursomes on the tee and one had already left!

I searched frantically for my bag, but I couldn't find it. I went back to the Pro Shop and they said, "Well you should have teed off first to get ahead of the foursomes." I said, "But someone stole my bag!" I asked for help finding it and reluctantly said they would help me.

We searched again but all we found was an old bag with wooden woods behind some bushes. It dawned on me that someone in the first group took my bag and left their shitty one. I told this to the Pro Shop guy, but he seemed not to care. I asked if we could take a cart and find them and he wouldn't let me. I got really frustrated. I wanted them to call the police, but they wouldn't (not sure why I didn't have my cell phone in the dream). I was really pissed. 

After a while, it dawned on me that the thief would have to finish at the 18th. So I told the Pro Shop guy this but again he seemed not to care. 

I walked over the the 18th green, which like in all dreams was strangely placed. It was at the end of a block with a small park on one side and a street crossed right behind it. There was a group of people waiting for a parade to come by on the street. I saw a COP! I told him what happened and described my bag including the bright red Red Sox Headcovers on my woods. 

We waited for the group. They finally showed up around some bushes and one of the guys had my bag but no woods were in it. I said to the cop that he must have dumped them in the bushes. We looked and there they were! I grabbed them.

We started after the perp, who still had my bag and a chase ensued. It was one of those strange dream chases up and down stairs and through parking lots, bushes, in and out of buildings. He finally dumped the bag, which I picked up and the COP kept chasing and finally caught the guy.

Then I woke up. 

So you think I am addicted to golf?

A big fear of losing your clubs?  Feeling like nobody is going to help you?  A Red Sox fan?

 

That will teach you to get a scorecard next time!

I hardly every (like once a quarter) remember dreams. I wear an OURA ring now, and I found that I have less than 20% REM Sleep (usually under 1 hour of my total sleep time). This is marked as not good, but my overall sleep efficiency is usually good. I get a ton of deep sleep.

I have to say my weirdest dream is when I worked in Wooster during summer break in college. I had a dream that a tornado was ripping through the city, and then the earth opened up and I was falling down it with a lot of rocks falling around me.

Last Thursday had a dream about a garbage collection person, a woman, collecting garbage in front of my house, bringing the bag to the truck , where she stored the bag in these rectangular compartments...not throwing it in...then noticed she had my putter but the grip was missing. I asked her for my putter back...she gave me another putter, not mine, but with my grip. I questioned her again and she argued with me that it was my putter. It couldn't be I told her, I putt left handed. Then I woke up.

Golf wise, I had a dream once (that I remember) where I couldn't make a putt.  I wasn't missing the putt due to a bad read, or poor stroke. I wasn't making the putt because just before the ball got to the hole, the hole would close up. It would disappear, only to show up a few feet away. It was like a revolving door with no exit. 

Eventually I woke up, in my own bed, thinking "man that was weird".

Told my wife about it. She just said that I should have changed putters????

Anyone ever use nicotine patches to try to stop smoking? Man! You will have some weird dreams wearing those! 

One weird dream I recall (not on the patch) is more recent. For some reason I was in Florida (I live in Ohio, and have been to Florida 2 or 3 times) and ran into Ty Burrell, the actor who plays the character Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. He was in Florida to do some kind of live, outdoor performance and was accompanied by some shady sidekick who stole some parts off my vehicle! 

I needed to get home and complained to Burrell who got his sidekick to return my parts. But, he wouldn't re-install them, and I couldn't find the tools to do it myself! I knew that he had to have the tools in order to remove the parts so I would look for them. Once I found them my parts went missing again! Another intercession by Burrell got my parts back, but the tools were gone! This would go back and forth until I would bolt awake in bed. 

I don't remember what was frustrating me in real life at the time, but the dream was an exercise in total frustration!

    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
