Well....I think there's an Energy component to it....i.e. "I have no focus" today usually means you're low on energy....(or stressed/worried...too much on the mind- for whatever reason...could be tournament pressure, etc.).
...
The other part of it is a clear mind IMO.....
For golf, I think an intense FOCUS (i.e. "I've really gotta grind down and focus on this one") is overrated.....if you're forcing it anyway.
Either you're into it or you aren't...
And there's ways to get yourself into it and to clear your mind, etc.....but it can be tough if you're just not "there."
...
And then I guess there's where you would focus your attention....on the target when you're playing of course.....(very little mechanics).....in preshot......then nothing over the ball....no conscious thought (Clear Keys are great IMO).

Expand upon this oh Herald of Galactus. Much to ponder with such a short phrase.
We constantly delete things in life. For example, as you read this post, you are not thinking about Hinge Action. But there are many posts regarding Hinge Action. You just aren't paying attention to it this moment.
Right now you are breathing. Probably didn't notice that until I brought it up. There are always so many thing going on arround us. If you start paying atention to thing that are not significant to your objective, you lose you focus.
Is what you are paying attention to helping or hurting your ability to meet your goal? I really like Daryl's post regarding narrowing in on things; Hands and Target.

Now where did I put my silver surf-board?
Me likey. Ok so the Target is there. It does nothing. But the hands DO something. Should we focus generally on the hands as you said in another post "Listen to them?" Or should we focus on DOING via the hands?
I think I saw your board at the Hardees drive-thru gettin' a Thickburger combo.

Both, the Educated Hands IMO will tell the other body parts what to do and will let them know if they did thing properly or not. Sensing and dictating.
