I imagine the golfer dreams of his next day on the course, just as the artist dreams at night what he'll do this time with his current project.

I know some persons who have a passion for golf. (As for me, I haven't played since I was 12 years old--I was not good at golf.)

This picture represents a dream. Note the bolt of lightning. The golfer knows he should get to the clubhouse, but too often he'll stay out, the passionate pursuit of his game overriding the danger he knows. It's dark (as in a dream) but in fact I've seen golfers play when the sun is almost set, or not quite risen. I've seen them play on the rare day in January when we have a warm spell. I'm sure there are things in this picture that a golfer would say are wrong. But remember, it's a dream. And I don't know golf very much.

As a "dream" picture I just threw in all the things that I suppose matter to the golfer. As for my own interest in the subject, I do love the architectural landscaping of some of the local golf courses I've seen. They keep them up constantly. A tree here, a tree there. The seemingly impossible closeness of the "hair cut" on the green. As far as that goes, the incredible green colors everywhere and clear blue ponds. Even the color of the roughs. It all adds up to a kind of wonderland.

I think that's a cool representation of the dream's eye. I mean, that colour scheme matches really well with the colours of my dreams, at least.

I like it a lot :)
