Usually I don't remember my dreams to well, but this one was pretty vivid.

Last night I dreamt I was playing the Nissan LA Open in a group with Tiger Woods and a nameless scandanavian player. It was only a few holes that the dream lasted, but he was very nice and cordial. He knew I was new on tour and was talking with me and even got me a bottled water on one hole. He didn't give me any pointers about the course though.

There's something to the golf dreams, I believe. I've been dreaming of one hole at a time from my home course, and the birdies fell on holes 1, 2, and 4 (next up, 8?). That dream felt very real to me, and I had it for most of the past month.

Sure enough, over break, I got my first ever birdies on that course on holes... 1, 2, and 4.

Now to start dreaming of birdies on the rest...

My golf dreams always seem to be crazy nightmares. I had one where my new driver came in with a curved putter shaft and the sales guy tried to make me believe it was OK. More often than not they involve me having to tee off indoors or down a narrow hallway.

Maybe I need to lay off the spicy Mexican food before bed.

Well, now I have a new complaint to add to my list: I NEVER have golf dreams.

The other night my wife had a dream that Tiger was looking for someone to play golf with, but she couldn't find me to tell me. . . . It's like she was having MY NIGHTMARE FOR ME!!!

g-funk, that's a pretty good one your wife had. I hate those kind of dreams.

I'm not a fan of fortune cookies. I once got one that said "Your troubles will soon be at an end."

Now, I'm generally a positive guy and all, but that can seriously be taken two ways... The last golf dream I had? My driver had snapped and the head flew down the fairway. And then when I pushed the shaft into the ground, it literally ground into dust right there. And then I was flying through the air, chasing a golf ball...

Unfortunately, I have had many golf dreams, but none were ever good. I recall tight fairways, lots of trees, and buildings very close to the fairways and tees. The dreams only lasted for a hole or two, but it always frustrated me that my swing was awful and there were so many obstacles on the course.

Now....there are those who analyze dreams that may say that the course is symbolic of life, and the tight fairways, trees and buildings are the many obstacles I am trying to overcome, and that my poor play is my subconscious feeling that I am not handling the challenges well...and I can see that, but I would love to have a dream about a long drive, great approach and a long putt for birdie on a wide open course.

Maybe that can be a resolution for 2008...

I have had that dream too...minus the practice. I am fairly confident I can get the ball in the air in real life, but my dreams must lock onto that 1% fear of not being able to even get it above the grass...

Last night I had a dream that I was playing with Tiger. He bombs his drive down the middle on the first hole. I step up and hit mine on the same line and what looks like even farther. Hey it was a dream. We get to his ball and can't find mine. We start looking all over. I start walking back towards the tee and keep finding balls that are not mine. The the hole goes from being straight to a dog leg with a huge tree and a pond. i walk back over 100 yards and finally find my ball on the bank of the pond next to the root of the tree. I look up and Tiger has goten tired of waiting and left along with the cart and my clubs.

I also dreamt that Michael Jordan came out of retirement and traded himself from Charlotte to the Pistons.

Damn that spicy Mexican food.

It was merged with a skiing dream (or lack of snow dream). In the dream the first tee box straddled a long steep hill, and to get to the senior and ladies tees you had to navigate down this steep 800 yard slope (double black diamond). Of course, I was grumbling about the lack of snow on the slope. Well I got down to the tees, and discovered there was a chalet in the way of the fairway, and thought "This is ridiculous the tips are way easier to hit over", so I got into the jeep and 4 wheeled it back up with my son navigating the terrain for me. The second hole was even worse. It was like a links setup with a meadow between the green and the tee box. It was a forced carry of 220 yards or more and if you missed it was scrambling from knee deep meadow grass. Of course, I crowned the shot and it plunked about 20 yards short of the carry. I don't remember the rest of it as clearly. . .

What do you think? Too many Mark Crossfield videos during my golf free vacation? :-D

I have a recurring golf dream where I am on a tee box that is impossible to play from. It does vary a little bit in terms why it is unplayable. It has been between two trees with only 4' clearance between them or on a wood bridge that you can't get a tee in to. I tried putting a tee in between planks of wood, but it kept falling over in my back swing. On time, it was behind a stone wall. I usually wake up PO'd and in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

Golfing nightmares?

I had a dream nightmare that I shot a 77 in the morning and then something like a 97 in the late afternoon that same day on the same course. Oh no, it wasn't just a nightmare. . . :cry:

I don't have golf dreams, I have golf nightmares. I will be dreaming about something else entirely and all of a sudden golf will enter the dream and I am trying to hit an impossible golf shot from wherever I happen to be. It could be in my house or in a location completely unrelated to golf. Weird. I guess a shrink could make a lot out of it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow..
