Golf anxiety
Dreamt up by artvandelay
I've got a 6 foot straight putt on a beautiful green to win a golf match. I think I'm playing against Bernard Langer and he has just missed his so I'm in.
However I get up to the ball and there's a really large blackberry growing right next to it, affecting my stroke. I lean down to pick up ball to adjust it and see there's lumps of fungus all over it, I start to pick them off (crowd are starting to ooh and aah) and it quickly becomes apparent that my titleist is now a red onion and I am just peeling off the layers. I put it down and look at the putt again knowing full well the ball/onion won't run straight at the hole.
But therein lies another problem -- the hole is a now bottle of olive oil in between the legs of a metal kitchen chair and it seems I just have to make contact with it to win. But now I get to ball/onion and see it has become a car key.
I look up, someone has now put the bottle of oil on the chair (I'm pretty sure my mum did that) plus the beautiful green has turned to sand (not sure who did that). I demand bottle of oil is replaced. It is.
But now the putt is now only a foot in length -- do I have a chance? No, because my putter is now another car key.
I take a stroke -- the car key ball just spins on the spot.
I pick up the chair and lug it (really far) into the surrounding lake in utter fury.
This is not the first golf related anxiety dream I've had.
