Occupy your mind while waiting to putt

The coach describes how he keeps his mind occupied while waiting to hit a short putt - looking for fish or wildlife in nearby water, always checking where the bass is in the pond - so that there isn't time to sit and think about all the possible ways to miss the putt. He notes he still wasn't detaching himself: he stayed aware of the shot he was facing and was ready when it was his turn.
