I left Golf54 off the list... I'm almost embarrased. I have worked with a HeartMath provider for a couple years with regards to breathing and how it can help slow heart rate.

I am intrigued by this side of the game and I think it reaches further than TGM (did i say that?).

If I could consider 3 imperatives to playing well from a mental view:

1. accepting the outcome prior to contact (carefree attitude)
2. clear & precise visualization (creative analysis attitude)
3. constant thought checks with the ability to redirect to the positive if needed (internally focused attitude - when needed)

I think most players on sunday are okay with where the ball ends up because they know they can still "be good" from that spot. They are "seeing" the shot before they hit it, whether they consciously recognize it or not. Sometimes you can see it with their eyes (see nick watney on #16 a few weeks back). They are also able to maintain their thoughts and not let a negative or disruptive thought allow it to get emotional and affect their performance. From most of this, it could be broken down to having the right attitude.
