"If the golf shot is upsetting to us, we were already in an upset (or emotionally similar) state of mind.  This is the “first cause/missing link” that few players grasp or even want to understand.  We would sooner think that our errant shots are totally random with results that appear out of the blue.  Like it or not, there is never a shot that is accidental and not on some level imagined or “dis-imagined” inside of us first.  The shots that appear are always the physical manifestation of the internal mind chatter that is going on before we hit the ball.  In other words, unwanted outcomes may come out of the oblivious (lack of emotional awareness), but they don’t come from out of the blue."  -Spirit of Golf
