Detachment is not about not caring or resignation or checking out.  In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.  Detachment is an extremely good feeling (high vibrating) emotional state where we are calmly allowing our golf shots to unfold free of judgment, self-criticism, or blame.  By detaching from unwanted emotions, we stop leaking internal energy.  It is then that we have more of the good stuff to tap into; a reservoir of positive flowing energy that we bring to the next shot, and the next, and on and on.
