If one approaches the Tee with that mindset, the chances of landing your shot in the drink, are much greater than hitting the green.
LOL! Interestingly there's a concept in motorcycle training called "fixation" that is much the same as your example. The way it works is this- the more you focus on something you're trying to avoid, the more inclined you are to hit it. So for example, if you see a pothole in the road and you stare at it and tell yourself to avoid it, then you will probably drive right through the middle of it, LOL! So instead you should quickly note it's location, chart your path AROUND it and focus on THAT path rather than the pothole location.
