A friend of mine is/was a top shooter, and used the term to describe mentally shutting down for an "easy" shot, a phenomenon that's bit me a time or 2.

Shooting and golf have a lot in common, and at the Masters yesterday, Ernie Els showed us what happens when you show contempt for the target.

Just a reminder, then: Don't show contempt for the target! Ever or for any reason. Each shot requires your total mental participation.

Thanks for the reminder, Ernie!
