Expand upon this oh Herald of Galactus. Much to ponder with such a short phrase.

We constantly delete things in life. For example, as you read this post, you are not thinking about Hinge Action. But there are many posts regarding Hinge Action. You just aren't paying attention to it this moment.

Right now you are breathing. Probably didn't notice that until I brought it up. There are always so many thing going on arround us. If you start paying atention to thing that are not significant to your objective, you lose you focus.

Is what you are paying attention to helping or hurting your ability to meet your goal? I really like Daryl's post regarding narrowing in on things; Hands and Target.

Now where did I put my silver surf-board?

Me likey. Ok so the Target is there. It does nothing. But the hands DO something. Should we focus generally on the hands as you said in another post "Listen to them?" Or should we focus on DOING via the hands?

I think I saw your board at the Hardees drive-thru gettin' a Thickburger combo.

Both, the Educated Hands IMO will tell the other body parts what to do and will let them know if they did thing properly or not. Sensing and dictating.

Great post drewit.....the one about being target-oriented (I'm hesitant to say "focus on the target" btw- makes it sound like you have to stare at it or really FOCUS your eyes at it...I think that's bogus)....

I think....

If your habits are built in enough you should not be worried about ANY mechanics while you're over the ball....and very little during the round period. I mean, you're gonna think of some things....hopefully one thing at a time....a simple little key thing....but.....

...when it's time to "put this one on the middle of the green," I think it's important to forget about all that more-or-less....and be target-oriented.....
