A groundbreaking study conducted by the International Institute of Sports Psychology has revealed an unexpected trend among professional golfers: their dreams are predominantly populated by lawnmowers. The research, which analyzed the sleep patterns of 500 top-ranked golfers, found that 78% regularly dream about various types of grass-cutting equipment.
Dr. Emily Fairway, lead researcher, explained: “We expected dreams about hole-in-ones or trophy ceremonies. Instead, we discovered a subconscious preoccupation with perfectly trimmed greens.”
Some golfers have embraced this phenomenon. World No. 3, Jack Greenside, admitted, “I’ve started naming my clubs after different mower models. My putter is now ‘The Trimmer.'”
Golf course managers are capitalizing on the trend. Whistling Meadows Golf Club has introduced “Mower Meditation” sessions before tournaments, where players visualize the perfect cut of grass.
Equipment manufacturers are also joining in. TeeTime Tech has launched a new line of mower-themed golf balls, promising “a cut above the competition.”
However, not everyone is on board. Veteran golfer Tom Bunker grumbled, “In my day, we dreamt about golf, not gardening equipment. What’s next, hedge trimmer-shaped trophies?”
As the golfing world digests this news, one thing is clear: the line between playing the game and groundskeeping has never been blurrier.
