Dream Golf

     It is easy to improve your golf game while you are sleeping. This may seem like a bold claim, but it is true. After a round of double par golf you may wonder about the wisdom of pursuing the game any further. Take heart friends, you are about to have a breakthrough! Here's the trick. Play for a couple of days in a row, particularly after long work days. Just hack and hack and hack away at it, through the frustration , the fatigue,  the dozens of lost balls, no matter. Skip dinner, play until darkness, through swarms of mosquitoes. Hacking, hacking, hacking. After a few days of this. Lie down and close your eyes.
    Then the dream game comes. In your dream you have a perfect swing. In your dream, your chip shots are like rainbows. Your putts swirl into the hole as if by magnetic force. The sky looks like a painting by Goya.
   Take a few days off. Get some real rest. Try again. If the serenity doesn't come, repeat as necessary.
