[12 piece bucket]

I know this may sound strange but I am totally lost without a mechanical thought. In fact I tried to play for a while only focusing on the target and I hit the ball all over the place.

Just like a computer I try to imput the information I need to hit every shot. Once the information is in I rehearse the pattern and look,look,look in order to make sure it is correct (everyone thinks I am trying to copy Weir or Dimarco but I have been making downstroke waggles for a long time). Once I am satisfied I pull the trigger.

I have found that if I only focus on the pattern that produces the shot I need, I do not worry about hazards on the course. It is all about execution. Focus on the execution during the swing, focus on the target before you swing.

I think you are on to something. . . .

All these Mental Guru's talk about Process Thinking versus Outcome Thinking . . . But then they tell you to focus on the target. Ain't that the "outcome?" I would say mechanics HAS to be the PROCESS . . . Period. I think Chapter 5 is HUGE in this regard.
