Just saw Mike Cirba's comment on J. C. Jones' swing    where Mike says, "It looks like that recurring nightmare of mine where there is nowhere to hit the ball."

I have that dream once in a while, you're in a situation where you can't swing, under a bridge, in a tunnel, etc.  It's a bad dream but nothing like the one I have on a recurring basis.

I am at a fine club, not sure which one but it is a Top 10, or at least that's the way I'm feeling about playing it, when things fall apart.

It's my turn on the tee and I don't have my clubs, have no idea where they are, don't have my shoes, same thing.

Sometimes I find them but now it's too late to get on the course, and sometimes I just wake up in a cold sweat.

Paging Dr. Katz!   

Does anybody else have dreams like this?  I'm sure there's some frustration going on in my life, but jeez, does it have to take it out on me like this?

Ace, I (and To Watson too, i read!) have both had that dream where you cant make a backswing because you are restricted by something

i wonder what the hell it means!

[Kalen Braley]

Bill,

I have had very similar dreams as well, and it usually happens at some once-in-a-lifetime course you are playing and can't even usually tee off on the 1st hole cause ur clubs are gone or something has gone wrong to derail the round.

[Anthony Gray]

  My dream is I'm at this gorgous course. Great weather. The setting is a tropical paradise. I walk up to this par 3 which has a small carry over water. While I'm on the tee box simply enjoying the moment a cart girl pulls up and parks by the green and waves. She is a ten plus. Tanned skin,dark hair and wearing orange. I mean perfect. I three-quater a short iron close to the pin. This chicks hops up and down and claps. As I approach her she turns and starts reaching into her cart. I assume it is for ice and one of those fruity tropical drinks with an unbrella. When I get to her with excitement she turns around with the drink I had imangined in her hand. PERFECT!! She hands me the drink and I pan up to her face... And she looks just like my mom. I four put from 15 feet for double bogey....I  have this one at least once a week.

I think I lived my golf nightmare this weekend...it seemed to involve a lot of sand and Chechessee Creek...in fact Eric Smith captured me living my nightmare...







I guess it wasn't a total nightmare because I actually hit some good bunker shots...except one...but it was only 50 yards or so long!!!!  

[Thomas McQuillan]

Anthony, your mam is a 10+ with dark hair and tanned skin? only joking.

I have a reccuring golf nightmare where i am playing the round of my life and im about to shoot the course record and I just can't hit the ball on the 18th tee. I just keep missing  it

  Thomas...Not MOM but my wife is...Not actually a 10... because of her face...but she has a nice back yard which kinda makes up for the face.

I share many of the ones from his archived thread.

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,28327.0/

I searched because I though I posted on it. I am not on that thread which means there might be another out there.

I am often indoors or hitting a tee shot through an impossibly tight spot or somewhere where there isn't  enough room to take a full swing or somewhere that it is impossible to get the tee in the ground (which usually isn't ground at all) etc.

It is nice to know we live in a world full of people with similarly repressed anxieties.

Paul:

That's spooky. I've been having a similar dream for the last 10 years or so. It's not a regular dream but I have it every few months. I tee the ball and try to make a swing but I can't. I tee up somewhere else and it's the same problem. It may be a tree or wall that is impeding my backswing, I'm not sure. I continue to move around the tee, conscious that I'm also wasting a lot of time and holding people up. I eventually hit a half shot that doesn't go very far.

Bill-
I have a similar dream, but with the addition that I'm supposed to be playing in a serious/significant tournament.

[Bruce Wellmon]

Real life nightmare.
On the range getting ready to play Quail Hollow Club with my best friend and an ex US Amateur runner up. And I shank it.

[Chris DeNigris]

Very weird...almost the same dream...zillions of times.  Always trying to play a shot that just can't be played...usually on tee where it should be straightforward but for some reasons just can't get a club on it or there's trees suddenly obstructing...or Anthony's mom...

Paul and Donal-I have had this exact dream countless times. It feels like I am swinging in a space about the size of a phone booth and the anxiety is heightened each time I retee which happens over and over. I don`t actually ever hit the shot.  It kind of reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Frank Costanza continually whack the wall behind them with their sticks while shooting pool because the space is so small. Wow-I feel better.

It means you're really itching to play golf but some life circumstance (or like at present for me, winter weather) is preventing you.

Trust me, mine (see post #1) is a whole lot worse than mere deprivation!

seriously?

[Bob_Huntley]

I thought I was unique.

I am inside the club house, the tee is a wooden table which could take a tee if screwed in with great force. The tee shot has to be played through a small window onto the fairway outside. Ninety per cent of the time I am penalized for taking too much time teeing up the ball.

Calling Dr. Katz.

  I finnaly get on Agusta National. It is the member guest and my alarm clock doesn't go off. I rush to get ready to make my tee time. For months I have been thinking about the proper attire. I have decided to go with the bright orange wind breaker,white turttle neck, white plus fours, white stockings and white shoes. I mean super clean. I frantically rush to get ready and speed over to Magnola Lane. I rush to the first tee and have made it in the nick of time. Everybody is starring at me because I am a site to see. Much like this past year's Dixie Cup..only better. This is Agusta you know. I place my ball on the tee. Look down and all I have on is my underwear. Maybe someday my dream will come true.

[Mike Cirba]

Mr. Huntley,

I've had the exact same dream, many times.

Sometimes I wake up still trying to force the tee into the impermeable surface.

Where is Katz anyway?!?

[Anthony Gray]

  There is one more that I had just recently. I go on this golf trip with a couple of buddies. All happily married with kids. We are away from home and men of integrety. We go out to eat and all order oysters. Two order fried and two order steamed. One guy shucks the steamed ones for the other two. No alcohol is consumed at dinner,only say 20 beers. On the way home everyone starts feling a little funny. Symptoms of severe food poisoning are manifesting. We all four barely make it back to the condo. In the morning I wake and go to empty my bladder,unknowingly only wearing a shirt. While urinating I glance to my right and there is a tiger in the bath room. I run frantically into the other room where I find the other three. One is even missing a tooth and there is an infant in the closet. Wait a minute...that's not a dream. It happend.

There was a thread a few years ago where a number of people ,me included, would feel like we were on a tee and didn't have room to swing.I can dream I am playing a great course and almost always I run in to an indoor par three in a hall with no room.You can't make this stuff up.

[JSlonis]

Ahhhh...

Looks like I have a lot of company.

I have the same damn dream as many of you.  Mine always seems to be the first tee, on what appears to be a great course and I'm playing some sort of tournament.  The strange thing is I always am able to watch one or two others play their tee shot and then when I get up to hit it, I CAN"T.  There is no room to swing, I'm either all of a sudden hitting out of a room, with a wall too close or a ceiling too low.  Something is preventing me from hitting the shot.  It's maddening!
