The Zone...Step 1

I just finished reading, "The Inner Game of Tennis." I loved it. It has helped my game already, and I really believe that it is one of the main things that will get me to the next level.
One of the lessons that I have learned through the book, and through many other sport psychologists, is to not be judgmental. How do we do that? Check out this section I typed out of the book, this is the first step to getting into flow on the course. Just have fun, and don't judge it.

“To see the process of judgment in action, observe almost any tennis match or lesson. Watch closely the face of the hitter and you will see expressions of judgmental thoughts occurring in his mind. Frowns occur after each “bad” shot, and expressions of self-satisfaction after every shot judged as particularly “good.” Often the judgments will be expressed verbally in a vocabulary which ranges widely, depending on the player and the degree of his like or dislike of his shot. Sometimes the judgment is most clearly perceived in the tone of voice used rather than the words themselves. The declaration, “You rolled your racket over again,” can be said as a biting self-criticism or a simple observation of fact, depending on the tone of voice. The imperatives, “Watch the ball,” or “Move your feet,” can be uttered as an encouragement to the body or as a belittling condemnation of its past performance.
To understand more clearly what is meant by judgment, imagine a singles match being played by Mr. A and Mr. B, with Mr. C acting as the umpire. Mr. A is serving his second serve to Mr. B on the first point of a tie-breaker. The ball lands wide, and Mr. C calls, “Out. Double Fault.” Seeing his serve land out and hearing, “Double Fault,” Mr. A frowns, says something demeaning about himself, and calls the serve “terrible." Seeing the same stroke, Mr. B. Judges it as “good” and smiles. The umpire neither frowns nor smile; he simply calls the ball as he sees it.
What is important to see here is that neither the “goodness” nor “badness” ascribed to the event by the players is an attribute of the shot itself. Rather, they are evaluations added to the event in the minds of the players according to their individual reactions. Mr. A is saying, in effect, “ I don’t like that event”; Mr. B is saying, “I like that event.” The umpire, here ironically called the judge, doesn’t judge the event as positive or negative; he simply sees the ball land out and calls it out. If the event occurs several more times, Mr. A will get very upset, Mr. B. will continue to be pleased, and the umpire sitting above the scene, will still be noting with detached interest all that is happening.”

That is the first step. Go play, and let yourself see it for what it really is without attaching any meaning to it...Just Play!
