See the shot you want, not what you fear

A tee-shot mental approach for a hole with trouble down one side: telling yourself 'don't hit it right' is a mistake, because focusing on what not to do creates an environment for your mind to produce exactly that. Instead the instructor walks up to the tee, sees the shot he wants, and thinks about executing it — picturing a specific target (for him, just left of the 150 with a little draw) so he makes a plan and executes it.
